treats and beach

I want to finish up on Anthony and my trip down to SoCal.

Sunday started off with Breakfast in Downtown Fullerton. Ant and I enjoyed sitting outside on a perfect morning.

After, we met up with Erica and Chris. We got a Joelatti (the best treat ever! fresh fruit shaved ice combined with the best soft serve ice cream) and then we headed to Newport Beach.

It was a glorious day. We ended the day with watching Erica, Chris, and Leslie play in their Kickball game. They are on a team. Then headed to the local bar that sponsors the league. We were going to do karaoke and sing Shoop by Salt n' Pepper but for some reason they didn't have that song! How is that possible??

Anyway, it was an awesome trip. It's always fun when we are down there though. Just hanging out with friends, eating good food, and exploring the surrounding areas.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! I'm headed out to the lake now for the weekend. =)

food trucks galore

Hello... back to the LA madness...

To finish up Saturday we had planned to go to the Outdoor Cinema Food Fest that took place at Grand Hope Park in downtown LA. We bought tickets before hand and arrived around 6. There were quite a few people already there with their blankets but we found a decent spot...and more importantly it was close to the FOOD TRUCKS! =)

Office Space was the movie of the week. It was awesome. It had been forever since I had seen that movie and I forgot how many catch phrases are from that movie. If I lived in LA this would probably be something I would try to attend at least twice a month.
Nothing better than being outside, food trucks, good friends, and a movie. oooohhh and a local band.

Check out the pictures =)

the waffle and amoeba

Saturday we spent the day in LA. Here's a look at half the day. Too much for one post. =)
Downtown wasn't too busy. I suspect "carmageddon" was to blame.

We brunched at The Waffle on Sunset.

Anthony's waffle. red velvet.


After brunch, we went and listened to music at Amoeba. The place is amazing. So much to look at. Every kind of music (and movies) that you could possibly want. I bet if it's not there that they can get it.

Stay tuned for the second half of Saturday. I must say that this was one eventful weekend...my most favorite kind.



Kogi and Pablo

After Disneyland we hurried and changed, swiped on some more deodorant, and cruised over to Irvine. We had plans to see Pablo Francisco at the Irvine Improv! Erica and I had seen Pablo about 4 years ago at the Punchline in Sacramento so we were looking forward to seeing him again. Before the show we tracked down the Kogi Truck which happened to be in a random parking lot in Irvine.

I was so stoked to finally try Kogi bbq tacos... i know, i know.. it's so 2009.. but i don't care! And guess what?! It was worth the wait. The short rib tacos were bomb!

After scarfing down our food we went over to the show and watched 5 hilarious comedians. It was a very successful day/night and we still had 2 more full days ahead of us! =)

Disneyland!

Anthony and I have been together for almost 5 years! I can't even believe that...but I couldn't believe the fact that we had never been to Disneyland together before! Well it's about time that we got to go!

'Tigger Tail' sooo sweet. Marshmallows dipped in caramel, dipped into white chocolate, dipped in orange sprinkles, and a chocolate drizzle. OMG.

My sisters name tag. =) she had to work for a few hours while we were playing in the park. She works on the new Star Tours ride... we got VIP treatment and got to cut the line and get right on the ride. The wait was more than an hour long.

Obviously not my first time on space mountain. =) hehe

We had such a good time playing in the park. I love knowing several Cast members. =) We didn't get to stay late that night and watch the fireworks... but thats ok. Next time! We had other fun things to get to.... stay tuned. =)

Road Trips

Anthony and I drove to LA last week and it was such a good trip. There isn't anything better then arriving at your destination after a long ride in the car. We listened to Spotify (have you heard of that yet?), ate In and Out for dinner, and sang loud the entire way. From Grass Valley to Fullerton (Orange County) its about a 7 hour drive.

Over the next week (hopefully) I will show all the fun that was had in the La La land.. =)
