California Vacation........Beaches & Our Brush with Fame

Clint and I celebrated our two year anniversary and our final trip without a baby (aka. Babymoon) in California this last weekend. We flew into California on Thursday and enjoyed a long weekend of walks on the beach, relaxing, exploring coves, Hollywood...0range carpet of Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards, Beverly Hills, a short hike, driving the coast of Malibu, and some very nice meals. It was a gorgeous trip and so nice to get away with Clint.

My favorite day of the trip.......Laguna Beach
Clint & I at Laguna Beach

This beach was called 1000 step, because you had to walk down 280 steps to reach the beach. That was not easy for a 6 month pregnant girl........for a moment I thought we were going to have our baby on those steps and have to name her California.

It was worth the walk when we got down there to this gorgeous secluded beach.

We found a little cove to walk in and on the other side was more beach.

Another beach in Laguna.......I loved Laguna!!!

We went out to celebrate our anniversary with dinner in Beverly Hills. This trip was supposed to be our gift to each other, but Clint surprised me with a beautiful heart diamond necklace.

The next day was our day of Hollywood and LA.

I really wanted to see a star while we were in Hollywood, so we had lunch at the famous Ivy Restaurant, but no stars were sighted.

It was my lucky day, because I spotted a sign for the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Award and was able to find out they were taking place that night at UCLA Pavilion, so Clint and I headed to the KCA to spot some movie stars.

The star I was most excited about seeing was Hugh Jackman. We were just a few feet away from these stars, so it was very exciting for me!

Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montanna.........I'm not a huge fan, but the little girls were freaking out. She was really nice to spend time signing autographs and shaking hands.

The American Idol runner up, David Archuleta

Jesse McCartney

Zac Efron from High School Musical (these people are big shots with the younger crowd, but I was excited to see Zac, because I think he looks like my youngest brother, Alan.
Ashley Tisdale from High School Musical
This was our final day and we drove along the Malibu coast, which was beautiful. We also decided to hike at Solstice Canyon state park. The hike was getting a little difficult for me and along came two couples who warned Clint that this hike was not for pregnant women unless he wanted to carry me down the hill........they recommended taking the easier route to the same destination. I was very thankful!
