LA Weekend

One great thing about travelling so much...is that on weekends instead of travelling home (and back to detroit or wherever i'm working) I can go somewhere else within reason. It's worked out great a couple of times. The first time was back in June on the same weekend that Terri was getting married. I was working in Detroit the week prior and had to be going back to Detroit the following Monday so instead of coming home...I went to LA to visit some of my most favoritest people!


I got in around dinner time and drove to Brian's to meet up with him, Ben and John...and then we headed to the horse racing track! I guess some band that Brian liked was going to be playing after the races and he wanted to go...so we all went to check it out.


I don't think Ben was too happy when I pulled out my camera and started taking a bunch of random pictures! He didn't want to look like a tourist! Too bad! :)


I'm sooooooooooo glad I got to see John one last time before he quit work and headed down to Brazil to serve his mission! I'm going to miss this kid...!


So - I figured since this was my first time going to the race track that I had to bet on a race or two! And guess what...I WON! :) ok..so the picture above is not of the winning ticket...but I did win a whoppin' $7.80 (or something like that) after betting a total of $6...so basically I came out $1.80 richer! Yeeeesssssss!!!!!! :)


Brian and Me watching the band after the races were over....I don't even remember the name of the band anymore. All I know is that they are from Colorado (hence why Brian knows and likes them)...they were alright. Some songs were pretty good..but most of their songs were too long (for me anyway).


On our way home that night the guys had been talking about this donut place that was supposed to be around where we were with some BIG donut....I happened to miss my turn as we were talking about it and we all looked to our right...and there it was...Randy's Donuts! So - of course we had to get a few donuts and take a picture! :)





Saturday was a fabulous day!! We spent most of it at the beach in Malibu!!! It was great! I LOVE the beach...I just love sitting in the sun! It was such a perfect day! I need to start going to the beach near my house...It's obviously not like the CA beaches...but it's better than nothing I suppose.

John was there too...but for some reason I didn't get a picture of him! Probably cause he wasn't right next to me and I didn't make much effort to take pictures...

Anyway - After the beach we went back to Brian's to clean up and head up to Thousand Oaks to go to Terri's wedding reception! It was fun to see Terri! I can't believe the girl is married..!

Brian being Brian....Love it! :)

Me with 3 of my most favoritest guys! I just love 'em! It was so much fun to hang out with them for the weekend! Maybe one day they will actually make it out to visit me! :P (hint, hint!).
