Ok....this blog has alot of pictures....but I love taking pictures. So here is what Chad and I did for my birthday! First we went to Santa Monica and got cupcakes from my favorite cupcake place...Yummy Cupcakes and enjoyed them overlooking the Santa Monica Pier. Then we braved traffic and drove back down into LA and tryed a new Japanese Restraunt in Little Tokyo called Shabu Shabu. When we went in there was a wait....we had to ask somebody waiting what to do. They told us we needed to sign our names on the list so we had to go over to the yellow steno pad and sign our names in. We noticed they took only cash so we had to go to a Japanese grocery store to get some change. When we were finally sat we were a bit at a loss for what to do. Our food was served really quick because there are only two options and the food is set before you sit in your seat. We had to ask our server and watch the others in the restraunt to know what to do. I flavored my boiling water and put in my meat and veggies....when it looked cooked i put it with my rice and seasoned it. It was pretty good...although chad and I both agreed it could have used some teryaki! I had the noodles last and they soaked up all the juice and they tasted amazing. The next day (my actual birthday) we went to Disneyland. It was raining in Riverside, so i thought it would be cold....well i was wrong..it was super hot. So we were pretty miserable at D-land but toughed it out and had fun in the end. Then we finished with dinner at the Olive Garden. It was a nice birthday...thanks Chad for making it special!
