Our First Anniversary

We had a fantastic anniversary weekend playing around in California. We went to Hollywood on Friday, visiting the Grauman's Chinese Theater, then the Walk of Fame and checked out who had stars where. We ate at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles -- best breakfast ever!

Then we went to the La Brea Tar Pits. Definitely eerie, the pond bubbled up with asphalt in big, elastic bubbles. After that we went to the LA County Museum of Art and looked at their permanent Japanese art collection. I wanted to see a little more Kabuki-style art, but mostly they had a lot of scrolls and sculptures. Learned a bit while we were there though, so it was fun.

Chuck bought me a new digital camera - a Canon Exilim Z75. I love it! It's 7.2 megapixels and thin thin thin -- perfect purse size, snaps fast, clean photos too!

We went to Medieval Times in Buena Park on Friday night and had front row seats, it was SO much fun. The food was fantastic as well. Our knight threw me a carnation :) The next day we hit Six Flags Magic Mountain. The crowds were horrible, but we did get to ride all of the new coasters they had, like "X" and "Tatsu". "Tatsu" felt like skydiving, it was more or less the feel of free flight! Both rollercoasters were so unique -- they were nothing like any coasters we've ever been on... the new coasters don't keep you "strapped to the ground" so much as just harnessed in but essentially free floating -- pretty amazing stuff! The new coasters are so incredibly smooth now too, no tooth-rattling brain shakers. Despite the crowds, we had a lot of fun.
