Fun Filled Weekend

What a wonderful weekend I had. Nothing too crazy happened... as it was "carmaggedon" weekend here in Los Angeles. That phrase just makes me laugh. It really turned out to be good for everyone because there was really no traffic here in LA, and as I thought everyone either went out of the city or stayed in.
The hubby and I went out Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It was nice. Most of these dates were to the movies though. We LOVE movies! Ha!

So on Thursday we saw "A Better Life." I had previously purchased the movie through groupon and I knew it would expire end of month. What a tear jerker! Specially the end. I recommend this to anyone, but if you're immigrant or have come from an immigrant family it'll hit home.
On Friday we were supposed to spend the entire day at the OC Fair, but it since it was opening day it was traffic galore. I truly think I was in a carmaggedon! Ha! It took us nearly two hours to drive 10 miles. Not funny. I wanted to run my car through everyone who cut in front of me at some point and go home after finding out all parking lots were at capacity, but the hubby had the excellent idea of just finding a nearby theater and watching "Harry Potter" and checking back later. Which ended up being exactly what we did.

My Harry Potter Sticker from getglue.com hehehe

I loved the movie. Personally, I haven't ready any of the books so I have no idea if it stayed true to story, but it was pretty good. I did however find the last 5 minutes comical. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but watch and you'll see.

Taken @ the OC Fair.. I absolutely love this place :)

On Saturday we hung out at home most of the morning and decided to redeem our AMC movie tickets which we've had forever. We saw "Horrible Bosses." Oh my God! That movie was hillarious! I loved Jennifer Aniston in the movie... it was so not like her! I loved it so much I'd watch it again.
On Sunday my hubby told me he wanted to visit the museum with the statues of celebrities. So I bought tickets to go to Madam Tussauds in Hollywood. We went there early in the evening. It was crazy packed on Hollywood Blvd. I never realized how many tourists are out there! Later on we realize he meant the "Hollywood Wax Museum"... lol... but I think Madam Tussauds is probably a better museum any ways :) We really liked it... there were so many "celebrities." I just wish we had gone on a slower day. Seemed like everyone brought their rowdy kids, so there were little photo ops :( Still a good time though.

Michael Jackson and I, we're tight like that

So there you have it.... a busy, but lovely weekend :) Gotta love them :)
