weekend in la

This Labor Day weekend we went to LA with our friend Jason. He has been bugging us for a long time to come hang out with him in his old neighborhood where he lived for six years while going to school. It finally worked out, so off we went for some California sunshine and lots of fun!

We stayed at the Marriott at Marnia del ReyWe ate at a fantastic restaurant in Malibu called Moonshadows

here is our view from our tablethe four of us at dinnerRyan in heaven... a woman on each side... what more could he ask for? Jason took us to his friend's house for a backyard BBQ and pool party.... his friend just happens to be a player for the Oakland Raiders and has a super sweet house in "the valley" back of house looking up from the pooljust chillin at poolRyan walking up the stairs on our way out cuz it was time for a little baseball action!We went to the Dodgers Stadium and watched them play the San Diego Padres We spent some time at Venice Beach... major people watching. Our favorite was the body building contest that we just "happened upon"soaking up the sunwatching the surfers It was a nice weekend. We were able to see LA from a "local" perspective and hang out at some really cool places. Thanks Jason!
