Weekend in LA

by

I already posted a bit real time and from Cindy and Jay’s wedding, but there were other highlights from the trip:

  • Olivia and I had some nice father daughter time on Thursday night when Grace and Lucas were already in LA. It was the first time the kids had been apart. We had fun at the airport and on the plane. She was a great travel buddy.
  • After getting in on Friday, I went to get the kids and myself dressed. Grace said pick her up between 6:00 and 6:15pm in Century City. She walked out at 6:50pm while this was going on in the car. Good times already!
  • Uncle Dave could not care less about cars, but somehow we ended up at Beverly Hills Porsche. While he shopped, Olivia and I just played around. She has this strange obsession with green cars and they had the greenest Cayman S. Eventually, she gravitated to some more serious rides. I’m sure the sales people were thrilled to have her bouncing around their $159K 2010 911 Turbo. I was relegated to the passenger seat, which was fine. She also liked the GT3, which was also a wise choice but lacked rear seats for her.
  • We had a nice lunch at Barney’s with Uncle Dave. Service was particularly horrible, however, and after sitting there for a very long time, we got up just as Neil Patrick Harris was walking in with his entourage. Bad timing for us.
  • It was rainy on Saturday, which was a bummer for the wedding, but made for some beautiful rainbows on our drive to Pasadena.
  • Lucas and I got some father-son time in on Sunday morning on a walk around downtown Westwood.
  • We got in some shopping for the kids on Robertson. Kitson for kids is an insanely fun store for them. Lucas got all the goods while Olivia had fun playing with all the toys. She did, however, get to bring home Abby, which almost completes here Sesame Street collection.
  • Finally, we met Grace’s parents at Chosun Galbee for a nice lunch before heading to the airport.
