Taylor Swift in LA!

So I did something a little crazy! Well, as crazy as you can get for being 25+ weeks pregnant! I'm about to brag on my LIFE a little bit so just hang with me a bit! Spent a ridiculous amount of money on a Taylor Swift ticket and bought an airline ticket to fly to LA for her concert with my friend Liz and her husband David. But no worries, I had free accommodations on the most comfortable couch in LA, so it didn't totally break the bank. ;) Once Liz and I realized we were both fans, you can imagine how quickly I jumped on the offer to fly out there for a bit of Taylor Swift fever! And WOW, for a 2 day, 1 night trip to the West Coast, I had the most AMAZING time ever! David (my David) was so sweet to encourage me to go and the timing worked out that he was off both days, so he kept Aidan home with him while I went on the trip!

Here are some of the fun photos from the trip. Sorry I didn't get more pics of Liz, David and myself at the show. *shrug* I seem to take more pictures of things and places then actual people, and the PEOPLE are what matter the most! We snapped one pic of Liz and I from the show, it turned out kind of dark. But it is still cute!



Our tickets were in the VIP section. I know you can't see Taylor from the photos, but hopefully you get the idea on how close we were! Also, we were up a level and on the first row of that specific level, so we didn't have ANYONE in front of us! And the seats were like movie theater seats and the clean VIP restroom was just 1 minute down the hallway. This section/seat was definitely "pregnant lady" friendly! Ha!




And of course there were CELEBS at the show that night, and we got to see them in the crowd via the big screen! This is NO BIG DEAL to peeps who live in LA. But to little ol me from Texas, it was quite exciting! Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Shannon Tweed and Gene Simmons were all there. Hilarious and so fun! Especially funny to follow these celebs on twitter and have them show pics from backstage! I kind of felt like I was there!




Taylor Swift put on a GREAT show. She is such an awesome performer and I just adored every single minute!


We ate at Drago before the show. It was HEAVENLY. I have YET to eat a meal that hasn't been mouth watering, in the few times I've hung out on the West Coast with the FO girls! They know how to feed you! Liz did a much better job documenting the meal on her blog, click ->HERE <-to get to her post. She has a bit more experience with really capturing a great food moment. ;)




But BEFORE dinner and the show, Liz and David took me to The Grove, in LA and we walked around, bought some wine (to ship home and enjoy after the little one is here!). We shopped, visited, ate, and just had a great time. It was a little warm but nothing too extreme. It was so fun and relaxing.




And then in the morning before my flight home, we had brunch at Canele. It was such a small, intimate type restaurant, with the most AMAZING food. It was empty when we got there, but before we left, there was a line out the door! Of course, I couldn't pronounce anything on the menu, but I wasn't scared to just try something, ANYTHING! And I was not disappointed. I had an egg dish, for the life of me I cannot recall. I should have posted sooner. But the memory of the food surely won't be forgotten. Liz posts a bit about this restaurant too on her blog, I'm going to link again, because I just can't do it justice! -->HERE<-- We sat at the bar and watched them cook our meal, it was so neat.



It was such a memorable weekend. I won't soon forget it. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if Elaine, John and David could have come with me to enjoy it. So fun!
