Twin Trip 2009 was a success. We started out leaving thursday afternoon around tweleve. By the time we made it to primm we needed a shopping trip so we made a pit stop to check it out. We found us lots of sunglasses to accompany us on our journey to California. We stopped at MacD's to get us some food before we were back on the road again. The next stop was in Victorville for a potty && snack break. 
We stopped to take a few pictures in the restroom while we were at it. Back on the road again headed to the hotel but of course the mapquest told us to take a toll road and we just didnt like that so we decided to continue on and find our own way. We got a little lost at first but managed thanks to the help of Ashlee's G1 navigation. We finally arrived got checked in and decided we would head out for dinner. Our room was pretty nice except for the fact that we found some dog poop on the floor and some silverware on our one foot wide balcony. So on our way out we stopped by the front desk to let them know about what we had found && off to dinner we went. We saw this place called triangle square on our adventure to find our hotel so we decided it would be a good place to stop && it looked like it had some shopping. We decided the Chronic Cantina would be our choice for dinner tonight. I had some mini chimichangas that were really good and ash got some flautas, later that night she found out they werent to great after all. Our waitress sucked and all the girls looked as if they were on chronic while getting dressed for work. 
After dinner we went down by the beach houses to watch the sunset && just put our feet in the sand. Newport beach beats a San Diego beach anyday but the water not so much its too cold for me. Ashlee had a migraine and we were a little tired from the ride so we decided to head back to the hotel and call it a night. Ashlee ended up getting sick but luckily it was only a few hours of that and then she was all better.
Day two of the trip we woke up got ready and headed out to Hollywood. The ride was really long and took about an hour an a half with traffic. We finally reached Hollywood and let me tell you its pretty ghetto. We started to walk the walk of fame and check out all the stars along the way. We were getting hungry and the only thing we found that even looked good enough to go in and eat was McDonalds. This would not be a good decision come to find out while we were in line some guy was making a racket in the back corner and he was actually trying to wake up a man sitting at a table. The man wasnt responding at all. The management then called the police, fire department and the ambulance and the area around us was evacuated. They couldnt get a pulse on the man and they ended up laying the guy down and giving him mouth to mouth. Right as they were about to bring out the shock plates to bring him back we decided our lunch wasnt worth finishing and we decided to head out. We arent sure if he actually survived or not but for all we know he was a dead guy. We continued on our hollywood walk and ashlee decided to take a picture with nacho libre for ada. I took a picture with an elvis statue. We walked just about the whole walk of fame even into the very ghetto area before turning around and heading back to our car. Next we were off to Robertson Blvd which Ashlee found was where all the stars went to shop. It took us about an hour to find but in the end we found it. We went into a few shops there before heading back to Costa Mesa. All this time in Hollywood and we didnt even happen to see the Hollywood sign up in the mountains. There was a mall with a bunch of shops next to our hotel so we went there after the long drive back. We found a really good place to eat called Cosi, and i had the best dang flatbread pizza ive ever had. Then we went out to do some shopping at Nordstrom rack, PacSun, and Tilly's. Then back to the room for the night.
Day three we decided fashion island would be our first stop, little did we know it would be a very overcast and rainy day. We were troopers and went shopping in the rain even though it was a little slippery and cold. First stop was one of my personal favorites Red Robin for lunch. We found out they dont make our favorites like they do in vegas. So off to shopping it was we went into this California Closet Boutique and we were talking to the guys in there they were pretty funny with their accents, and Ashlee found some nice stuff in there. Then we continued shopping. We went into one of the boutiques and happened to see two of the girls from the show newport harbor. Of course the only celebrities we would see and they arent even real celebrities.
After we finished up at fashion island we decided to head back to the hotel in hopes the weather would clear up some more before we got there so we could go out and get some sun at the beach. We got all ready, headed out to the beach and no such luck we laid out for about an hour but it was nothing but clouds and not even the clouds where you can get some sun.We decided we would head back to the room so we could get changed and head to dinner.
Dinner tonight was on the boating dock at the Rusty Pelican. we ended up getting dinner and a show because we saw two weddings happening on yachts out on the water. For dinner we had Cajun Shrimp, Garlic Bread, Prime Rib, and a Baked Potato. The dinner was very good and the people were nice. Next up was back to walk on the pier and do some more shopping. We found lots of good little souviners and watched a very beautiful sunset off the pier and we ended the night by getting frozen chocolate covered bananas, although we were both over it by about half way through. Back to the room it was to get packed up and ready to leave. 
Finally on the way back home we got up about eight and got ready and headed out to the pier for one last final present and breakfast. Now were on our way back to vegas. The trip was alot of fun and it was good to get out of Vegas for a few days and just have fun. I realized how spoiled we are in Vegas through this trip though. I love the fact that we only have to pay for parking if were to lazy to walk and that it only takes one freeway to get somewhere for the most part. I also realized Las vegas is definitely the glamorous life and we are lucky to have all that we do and its actually pretty clean for the most part.
I wear my nuts with the bow on the side<3

It looks like you girlies had fun. I love Fashion Island! Did you notice that everyone had their cute little dogs with them shopping? I have never been in a place like that where even in the departments stores, everywhere, there were dogs. We felt out of place because we didnt have a dog!
