Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach
Simply said, I've never been to this aquarium before so we thought of going today! (Plus, we had a 50% coupon, haha) The sharks were probably the best fishes to watch, look at the teeth on that thang! Worthy of a photo was the "sexy shrimp"...and, yes, that is its name! It's only about 5mm big and apparantly it gets its name from their "tail" waving back and forth as if they are dancing. And no joke, the tropical fish are feed broccoli and cabbage!

7 Years of Cute!
Danny and I had the opportunity to join our good friend's bbq picnic today, and she brought her adorable golden retriever, Chaffee! We've known Chaffee since he was a puppy and we love him A LOT! He's just the best dog ever. We couldn't go without posting new pics of him because he's just too cute! (I also wanted to share with you my fav pic of Chaffee when he was just a pup!) Thanks Helen for letting me post pictures of Chaffee! It was great seeing you & Chaffee!!

Anniversary Wedding Cake!
Today we received our free wedding anniversary cake. We have been waiting for this day for so long since we didn't get the chance to enjoy our own wedding cake on the day of! And oh-my-gosh, it's such a delicious cake! Just to share the yumminess with you, it's marble flavor with kalhua mocha filling wrapped in buttercream frosting...drool
Honeymoon in Moorea
Exactly one year from today Danny and I left for our honeymoon to Moorea, French Polynesia. It was an amazing trip and everything about it was unforgettable....the fresh fruits, the kind locals, the clear waters, and all the activities! Here's a peek at what we were up to...
We stayed in an overwater bungalow and every morning we went out to the balcony and watched/fed the tropical fish, any free time we had we would walk right into the water and snorkel, or explore the waters by hopping onto a kayak or canoe from our bungalow.
The room was very cozy and the glass floor panel was great. At night we even saw sharks! Apparantly, they feed at night so don't go into the waters when it gets dark!
The food was awesome! The fresh fruits were amazing and the french cooking influence didn't hurt either! Danny and I came across a boat that came back from catching Mahi Mahi.
We did tons of activities. ATVing, parasailing, jet-skiing, kayaking, canoing, AquaBlue, renting a dunebuggy to explore the island on our own, etc! I think our favorites were ATVing and AquaBlue. Going off-road on the ATV was exciting, and walking in the water and feeding the rays was a real rush! Overall, it was a great honeymoon and we hope to be able to visit there again...maybe on our 20th or 30th anniversary haha!

Anniversary with the Stars
For our wedding anniversary, we decided to take a trip to the newly renovated Griffith Observatory. Stars, or especially shooting stars holds a very important meaning to us both, and we can tell you why on August 12th!!
I also had a run in with Einstein, and we discussed energy! Then, for dinner we went to our favorite restaurant in West Hollywood where we occassionally see celebs (last time we saw Eva Longoria & Tony Parker), this time we saw someone, but can't remember his name! (Haha, we snuck a photo!) Can anyone recognize him from our lousy photo and help us with his name?!?!

Celebration of Paper!!
In light of our 1st year wedding anniversary, we have decided to start a blog! It will be a very casual area, simply keeping everyone updated with what we're up to. From time to time, we will also post images from our May 9, 2008 wedding and our awesome honeymoon in Moorea. We've gotta admit, this is our first time creating a blog, so bare with us! So, on that note, "Welcome, enjoy!"
