Thanksgiving 2018 + News
11/17 to 11/19 - For Thanksgiving this year we flew down to Los Angeles and spent the weekend before with K's family in Huntington Beach. It was fun seeing his mom's side of the family and catching up with everyone. I made a veggie platter and an artichoke dip that was very popular. I got the recipe off Pinterest.
11/19 to 11/20 - We had dinner with my college friends at Pump and got drinks at Tom Toms afterward. If you are really into reality TV then you will love this place. We ran into some guy that is frequently in the Housewives of Beverly Hills. I cannot tell you who it is because I really don't know. But I will say the decor was trendy, the food and drinks were delicious, and the waitstaff was very attractive but the best part was getting to catch up with my friends. I spent a large part of the next day with a friend from high school (Vanessa), she just moved back to Culver City from New York. It was really great getting reacquainted. I had missed her. Later, we met up for dinner with my dad at California Fish Grill by what used to be the fox hills mall. The scallops in garlic butter sauce were very good.
11/21 to 11/24 - We drove to Arizona with my family and I got to sit next to my very adorable 4-year-old nephew which I thought I would hate. I did not, he's actually a lot of fun. Arizona was a blur of drinking and hanging out with my cousins. Honestly, I had forgotten how much fun I have with them. They were after all my first best friends and I absolutely adore them. The week went by too quick and it probably didn't help that I blacked out at one point but luckily I didn't do anything too embarrassing. But even if I had, my family is pretty great and would still love me. As I will always love them. I can't wait for the next get together. :)
SO THE NEWS... I wanted to inform you of our upcoming trips/posts:
1. I will be planning a cute weekend getaway for K's actual bday in the bay area. Haven't picked out where yet... to come!
2. Xmas will be spent with K's grandparents in San Francisco. My mom will be coming up after Xmas and I will be exploring family fun outings in SF.
3. K's friend will be getting married in Northridge, CA and we are taking a romantic drive down the 101 - it will include 17-mile drive, Monterey, and Hearse Castle.
4. We will be celebrating our anniversary a little late at the end of March with a trip to Paris and Barcelona.
5. In May/June we will be going to Chicago for either my cousin's senior performance or graduation from DePaul Theater School. I am very excited about this - she is so talented. We have a ton of Jetblue points but Jetblue doesn't fly to Chicago straight so we will be stopping in New York for a few days before and in Boston on our way home. This should be a fun little adventure.
6. I have a Bridal Shower in July that I am apart of and will be taking a quick trip to LA.
7. We will be attending K's cousin's wedding in Yosemite. It should be very beautiful.
