Last Friday, the hubs and I made our way to LA.

That evening we got to meet our daughters boyfriend’s parents and sister.

We did it  up right with BBQ dinner at Lucille’s. Allow me to say, their baby back ribs are fall off the bone tender and yummy and messy. Oh my goodness! And they brought warm rolled cloths (to the table) after our meal. I call that great service.

Then we went to Cold Stone for some ice cream.

And then we partied ’til the early morning hours in Koreatown, at this really cool Korean karaoke place.

Fun times!

Daddy daughter team.

While the hubs was singing…(He was singing a special song “to rme” – Makes me happy.)

the rest of the gang were finding favorite songs to cue.

One of the groups favorite of the night was Yellow Submarine – we all got a big kick out of that.

Singing a song

Gotta love it – I believe they were singing Mamma Mia and they danced the entire song.

Getting ready for her song…

And sometime in the early morning hours, we grew a little weary and called it a crazy fun day and night to remember. We shut the place down!

The next morning (Saturday) we took a stroll down to the beach for brunch.

And what do you know?

We happened on Jillian Michaels summer shape up.

I didn’t bother counting all of the tents and crew, but it was quite the turnout.

She had the place rockin’

I walked all the way around and got as close to her as I could.

She’s in the image below up on the stage between the two flags with a  cap. See her?

And then we found the perfect spot for brunch.

Cute little picture as we were leaving.

And then we were off to Dodger Stadium to watch our Cardinals play ball!

Good Year kept us company all afternoon.

Here we have a few of the hubs friends from St Louis.

I’ll say the hubs did an amazing job coordinating this super fun event. He even scored tickets just 13 rows from the field and close to the home plate.

There were 16 of us total.

It was a sad day for Cardinal fans, but we still rallied at the 7th inning stretch.

Friends at the game – I think they were discussing a Cardinal comeback.

But our friend need not say a word – He truly shows that our Cardinals were out there looking like a bunch of clowns. It was pathetic…Almost laughable.

Then a few of us gathered at a Mexican joint to finish the day.

And the hubs and I made it home sweet home a little after midnight.

We’ve been trying to catch up on rest ever since.

I think we are finally back into the swing of things.

And we are truly looking forward to this upcoming three day weekend. Although I think we have plans to keep it as low key as possible. Sounds good to me!
