Girls Weekend in L.A. was the best time. Minus the small burglary that happened on Friday night. I will get back to that in a bit. So, I leave Austin around 4 on Thurday and magically end up in California a little after 5. Ahhh, California. Sunny and beautiful and perfect. I loved the palm trees and the weather and was instantly relaxed as soon as I walked out of the airport. Ashley and Becca picked all the Texas girls up and we headed home to change and then we walked to a little Mexican place for dinner. We had the best time just getting to hang out and chat and catch up over dinner and margaritas. Everyone was pretty tired from work or traveling that day so we called it a night around 11.
Slept in on Friday and got up and got ready to head to Malibu for the day. First we walked to get brunch at Toast, one of Lindsay's favorite places to eat in L.A. Then on the road to Malibu!! We were headed to a museum called The Getty Villas. It was absolutely gorgeous!! We got to wonder in and out of exhibits and go outside, we had a great time and the weather was so perfect. Then we stopped at Dukes, right on the ocean, to get some drinks and snacks and enjoy the view and the weather. Rachel met up with the 5 of us after work and then we all headed back to L.A. to get ready for a night on the town. Everyone showered and dressed and we called a cab and then headed to Crown Bar in L.A. Such a fun night of dancing and laughing. Headed home when the bar closed around 2am, ordered pizza and everyone went to sleep a little later.
Then Saturday morning came and with it, the realization that the house had been robbed while we were gone the night before. It was shocking. Ashley noticed her jewelry missing and then Becca checked and hers was gone too. Pretty soon we all started looking around and noticed that everyone's jewelery was gone. Along with ipods, phones, cameras, and money. It was just crazy. Had to call the cops and file a report and do the whole fingerprinting thing and whatnot. It was a wild morning. So, needless to say, this put quite a damper on the day. We finally rallied and left the house around 3 and headed the The Grove for some lovely outdoor shopping and strolling. We sat down for some appetizers and just to relax and forget about the morning. Went home and decided that after the previous night, we would just take it easy and head to dinner and then go to a local dive bar so we could sit and talk and not have crazy loud music and whatnot. We went to a great sushi dinner and then spent the night laughing at Nick's Bar. It was a super fun night and something we all needed after the burglary.
Sunday we got up and just lounged around all morning, ordered brunch to go and just talked and watched TV. Then it was off to the airport :(
All in all, it was a fabulous weekend in California - despite the whole getting robbed thing. We had a blast, the weather was perfect and it was just the vacation I had been needing.
We are already planning our next one for the Fall...this time we are thinking NYC!!
