California: Day Five

OK, I think this day may have been my favorite!

Day started out normal...sleep in, hang out at the beach, read, good food, etc. But that evening, Mark and I went on our anniversary date. We decided to spend the night before our anniversary going to Cirque du Soleil's Kooza at the Santa Monica pier.

Mark and I agree that it was some of the best money we've ever spent. I felt like a kid while I watched all of the acts. My favorite act, by far, was the Wheel of Death.

My palms were sweating as I watched the whole thing. There were several times that I had to catch myself from screaming in either shock or excitement.

So much fun!!! It was the perfect date with my husband!

Then, as if the night wasn't good enough, I went with the girls again to see the midnight showing of New Moon.

(She bought me the shirt. I swore I'd never wear one, but it was a gift...and I loved it)

Lindsay got us the amazing, reserved seats in a theater so there was no standing in line for us at all. We actually made pizzas and sipped wine until it was time to go see the movie. Keep in mind that it was a midnight showing so it was 3 AM KY time before the movie started and it was over after 5 AM KY time. I was sleepy, but it was worth it!
