Our Belated Anniversary

Over the weekend, hubby and I finally got a chance to celebrate our 2 yr. wedding anniversary. My husband planned a wonderful day and overnight outing for us, on Saturday. Well I have to say, we had the best time! We started the day off, watching the movie "Why Did I Get Married?".....fitting, right! Oscar took one for the team, since he isn't into "chick flicks" but he knew I really wanted to see it. Following the movie, we drove down to Hermosa Beach, where we stopped at The Massage Spot Mini day Spa. He planned for us to get, some much needed massage therapy. The place was fantastic! It's not as swanky as some of the other day spa's in the area but it's definitely a great spot. They have 3 locations and offer a variety of services. We both had a combo Swedish/Deep tissue massage and we came out of there feeling brand new!Our next stop was to the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, in Downtown Los Angeles. We had been there before but never to stay, so I was really excited that we were spending the rest of our evening there. The views that you get from your rooms are incredible. We enjoyed wine at their Lobby Court lounge and had dinner at L.A. Prime Steakhouse. I'm officially in LOVE with prime rib! Until now, the best steak I had ever tasted was at the now closed, Windows Restaurant in Los Angeles. But after dining at Prime, my opinion has changed. Now, the best steak I've ever tasted is at L.A. Prime Steakhouse. I have also fallen in love with Burrata cheese (it was serves in brandywine and zebra tomatoes, micro sprouts, opal basil balsamic vinaigrette). Which is a mozzarella and cream mix. Looks like mozzarella but is much creamier and oh so yummy! So my mission in life right now, is to find that cheese!Ok, enough about the cheese! Sorry, I get carried away with cheese.
Our night was spent at The Vodka Bar, located right outside Prime. It's our favorite hang out, at the Bonaventure. The area is so small and usually empty. It doesn't get the volume of customers that the Revolving Lounge gets but it definitely should. The bartender makes the best martini's and it's nice to have the area all to yourself. So on second thought, don't go there! I want that place all to myself...hehe! (Allen would kill me for saying that!)
We had such a good time, even though I lost my phone but I guess that's what happens when you have too many martini's! This was a great anniversary and I can't wait to see what's in store for us, in the years to come!

Spice things up!

Another goal for 2010, is to get out of my "mom" funk. Unfortunately, as a mother you tend to neglect what you look like. You spend most of your time getting the kids ready and cute, going shopping for all kinds of new clothes for them. Make-up becomes a "special occasion" thing. And what you wear to bed, is whatever old t-shirts and sweats you have, stuffed in your drawers. Don't get me wrong, t-shirts and sweats are a definite must sometimes. I found some cute and sexy sleepwear, that will suit each individuals "raciness". Just in time for Valentine's, they are sure to put a grin on your hubby's face. Quoting a fellow blogger "It can't always be about the kids".

live love eat....

On Saturday, hubby and I had a date night. The meal was so good, I just had to blog about it! Our second trip to L.A. Live, was to Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill. We definitely enjoy fine dining, when we can get out of the house. This is was PERFECT! Even MORE perfect, was the fact that the Chef sent out Wild Mushroom Ravioli, with his compliments! Apparently he thought he was making us wait too long, but I didn't think so. Let me tell you, free food is delicious. After, having Sautéed Maryland Crab Cakes, on Basil-Pesto Aioli, with Marinated Tomatoes, Micro Arugula and the Wild Mushroom Ravioli...it was hard to make room for the entree. Hubby had Ricotta Gnocchi with Italian Sweet Fennel Sausage “Bolognese”. I had the Pan-Roasted Organic Chicken, Wild Mushrooms, Goat Cheese, Yukon Potato Puree, Rosemary. We finished it off with Brulee Cheesecake with Strawberry Jam & Vanilla Bean Cookie! THEE BEST! (Sorry, but I didn't take pictures of the food. It's kinda weird taking pictures of my food, in the restaurant, LOL)
