But I Loved Him!!!!

Can we just observe a moment of silence for the passing of one of my Hollywood Husbands? Of course I’m devastated!!! I love Paul Newman!!!! If you’ve never seen Cat On A Hot Tin Roof you MUST go out right now and rent it!!! You will not be disappointed!! Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor-does it get much better than that?!?! I think I might have myself a Paul Newman marathon this weekend-that’ll make it all better!!!

I Went To Lose a Jolly Hour On The Trolley!!!

Clank, clank, clank went the trolley!!! You better believe i was singing the trolley song from Meet Me In St. Louis as we rode the trolley car through the streets of San Fran!!! It was very exciting!!!! After standing in line an exceptionally long time we boarded the trolley and it was so full that Loren had to hang onto the pole on the side of the car-it was great!! Maybe not for him but me & Johnny got a kick out of watching him have to dodge any cars on the roadside and having his personal space seriously invaded by the guy next to him!!! We rode the trolley to the end of the track at Union Square where we went to this ENORMOUS mall!! Loren was in heaven!! We trolled around the shopping district for a bit and #1 my hair was a wreck!! I had to go and purchase something to pull it back with! Good grief!! #2 it was getting chilly outside so thank heavens for Old Navy I was able to pop in the 3 floored store there and purchase a little sweatshirt! so that's the reason for the wardrobe change folks!! After we ate dinner we again boarded the trolley and headed to Ghirardelli Square!!! Magical!!! We came upon this little cupcake store that had the appearance of our beloved Sprinkles Cupcake store so we just had to check it out!! It was NOT Sprinkles mmmkkkaaayyy!!! And the chick working there seemed quite offended when Loren mentioned Sprinkles to her!! so touchy!!! They were good cupcakes and would get you by if you needed a cupcake fix but they are not Sprinkles by any stretch!! Then we headed over to get ice cream!!! delicious!! Me & Loren both wisely chose The Gold Rush which is ice cream, peanut butter, and Ghirardelli chocolate!!! I am really on this peanut butter kick lately and it was fantastic!! Johnny on the other hand was not so smart in his dessert selection and got this milkshake that seemed more like a glass of melted ice cream!! We didn't even bother taking a picture of it!! Too bad Precious!!

While in San Fran we also went to Fisherman's Wharf and I got to gaze out at the ocean!!! I heart the ocean!!! Oh we also ate fish 'n chips at one of those little roadside seafood places and it was delicious!! We hoovered that food in let me tell you!!! By the time we got home we were exhausted and I was sunburned but man it was a great day!!!

Alcatraz!!!

So I just got back from visiting Johnny (my Precious) in sunny California!!!! We're gonna need to do this in chapters or everyone will just be overloaded with all my pics and stories!!! We'll start with Alcatraz!!! I have been wanting to go there for like forever and was more excited for this than pretty much anything else on my trip!!! Me, Johnny, and Loren took a little road trip to San Francisco and it was very exciting!! We took the ferry out to the island which was way fun!! We took the "Audio Tour" of the island where they just give you a headset and send you on your way-genius!!! No listening to a stupid tour guide trying to be funny or stupid tourists asking asinine questions!! It was a very interesting place. I think the thing I was most surprised by was when they talked about how some of the guards had their families living on the island with them-WITH THE PRISON RIGHT THERE!!! That's insane!!! There were quite a few areas that were closed off cuz the place is old and falling apart and that made it all the more creepy!! For some reason I had a morbid curiosity with the Morgue-which we were not allowed to go in but we could look through the window so that would have to do!!! We got to get inside a few of the cells and I'm not gonna front it was a little creepy!!! I was having visions of that movie The Rock where the tour comes through and they get inside the cells and then Ed Harris pops out and locks them all in and holds them hostage!! Now while I would love for Ed Harris to pop out as he is one of my Hollywood Husbands-I just don't have time for such shenanigans!!! Don't fret tho-Ed Harris was no where in sight!!!! we spent a good couple hours on the island and it was all very exciting!!! Anywho-enjoy the pics and hunker down cuz there's more to come!!!
