LA trip

Last week BC and I headed out west to our old home of Los Angeles!  LA had the most rain it's had in the last 3 years, but that didn't stop us from having a wonderful time.  We got in late Wednesday night and the weather was super on Thursday, we were able to go for a run, ride bikes down to the farmers market for lunch and hang out at the beach:) 


 That evening I met up with the ladies I used to teach with, it's been so long since we've been together and it was awesome to catch up with Theresa, Megan, Susie and Ruthy!
 Later that night we had dinner at C & O's (BC and I had our first date there) with Seamus and Danielle.  BC was so happy to have his favorite dish, Spinacci!


 Friday morning we went to mass at my old school and were able to see some of the students from my last class...they're 8th graders now! It rained pretty much all day, but we didn't mind as we spent the day at Baja Cantina drinking margarita's and eating chips and salsa with Seamus! 
 Later that evening (it was still raining) we attended Lauren and Rob's rehearsal dinner (their wedding was the reason for our trip) at Michael's in Santa Monica. 
 Saturday morning we headed to Redondo Beach to have breakfast with my old room mate, Jessy and her family.  BC met Jessy first (thanks to Bill, who studied abroad with her) and then he introduced us and we lived together for a few years before she got married.  Bill and his wife Kara (and little Hudson) just happened to be visiting LA too, so we were all able to get together...and if you didn't know, Bill is the one who introduced BC and me!  The cute little girl is Jessy's daughter Taylor, her little boy, Keller, did not want in the picture!
 Saturday afternoon was Lauren and Rob's wedding at Shutters on the Beach, it was a very sweet ceremony (inside due to the rain) and beautiful reception. 
Before heading home on Sunday, we went back down to the beach for breakfast and one last walk out on the pier.  The waves were unbelievable!  It was such a great trip and thank you to Ya Ya and Pop Pop for keeping our boys while were gone:)
