This past weekend was our 11th anniversary so we decided to take a little trip to Ca. to hit a couple of Dodger games. The first night we had a great time. Kyle was like a little kid in a candy store. He was so excited to be there. We met my brother Jeff and his wife Kristie and my brother Adam there at the game. The game was great, and there was an awesome firework show/tribute to Michael Jackson afterwards. It was so much fun....until we went to our hotel. We were staying at a Marriot in Torrence. When we showed up, we saw a huge biker gang there. Ok, no big deal. They'll be fine, right? Wrong!! At about 1 in the morning, they started partying right outside our window. Bumpin their rap music, drinking, burning rubber in the parking lot with their Harley's, and being so obnoxious. After calling the front desk twice, and nothing changing, we packed up our stuff and checked out. We were so irritated! It was about 2 in the morning when we found ourselves driving down the PCH trying to find a place to stay. I think I laughed the whole way. We ended up all the way by Huntington Beach in front of a Hyatt. Kyle called them to see if they had any rooms available, and they said they only had one room left, and it was the Presidential Suite. Hmmm....how much is that gonna set us back? The guy gave it to us for less than $200. Normally it goes for $5,000! Can we say sweet deal? We checked in, and I'm not kidding, the place was like 3,000 sf. and so nice! We were in heaven! We finally got to sleep at about 3 in the morning, and had to check out by noon the next day. Bummer. But it was fun while it lasted!!
Go Dodgers!

This band was crazy!
Kyle has never been to Venice Beach, and I knew he would definitely appreciate the experience!
So we met up with my bro Adam to kill some time before the game. Let me just say that if you think you have a dysfunctional life, go to Venice Beach! You will feel so much better about yourself! It's a freak show! We had a good time laughing and in awe of how people live! Anything goes there! But after a while, I was done! I had a headache from all the incense and who knows what else! So off to the game we went. We had a fun weekend. Thank you Jessica and Wade for watching the kiddos for us! We really appreciate it!
