Ready for the Country Club! July 28, 2010

Filed under: Friends,Los Angeles — Kelocity @ 9:53 am

Last night, Erika, Timmy, Irving and I teed up for a foursome of golf together! We played the 9-hole De Bell course in Burbank, and it was pretty awesome.

I love this course because you don’t have to be very good to play. No pressure. 🙂 But from all the cool weather we’ve been having, the greens were actually in really good condition.

The sun was really pretty too, we had such a nice time. There goes Timmy!

Erika lining up a putt!

I love Irving’s new shirt because it’s TEAL! Golfing is 90% fashion, 10% skill.

Speaking of fashion… just sign us up for the country club!

Look at that focus! That ball went flying!

Um… unlike this ball on the 9th hole…. WHIFF!

I love this picture. We should sell it to Golf Digest Magazine. HAHA

It was such a great way to spend a summer evening.

We like to learn stuff! July 26, 2010

Hope you guys are loving my influx of posts lately. Lots going on! I love the summer!

Sunday morning, Erika and Timmy and I decided to be productive and go learn something. So we headed to the California Science Center. They totally gear the exhibits towards children, but we totally loved it! Why is it so much fun to learn stuff?

The atrium is so pretty!

We went to see the Ecosystems exhibit. We could have spent all day in just that one section!

Each room was a different stage of life.

If I were a 10 year old boy, my favorite would be the Rot Room!!! It was so gross, yet exciting! hahaha

We loved the aquarium section outside. (PS. how awesome is it that you can have exhibits outside? I love LA)!

Here, you had to pretend you were a fish trying to grab food. HAHA
Erika and Timmy almost got some!

In the desert room, you could see how warm your body is compared to the rest of the room. HEE HEE. We were like little kids.

I’m pointing at myself. LOL

The aquariums were so cool!

Jellyfish!

This was in the LA Room. Hee Hee

After a fun educational morning, we stopped and got some lunch at a Mexican Restaurant called Chano’s. If you haven’t been there yet, you have to go. Mmm. We even got fresh squeezed watermelon juice!!! Wow!

Later on, we headed up to Universal Citywalk to see Inception.

I really liked the movie. It was really, really good. It had a few holes in it, but it was entertaining and the story was good. Not Leonardo DiCaprio’s finest (in my opinion), but a good flix for summer.

Date Night in Beverly Hills July 8, 2010

This week, we headed over the canyon into Beverly Hills for dinner. It was beautiful as usual.

Love these huge houses:

But since we live in the valley, we came to Beverly Hills prepared…. with a Groupon!

That’s how we roll!

We ate at this AMAZING restaurant called “Jack n’ Jills”. We were majorly impressed.

We started out with some fresh blueberry muffins! They were so cakey!

Irving got the chicken and it came with sweet potato fries and mac n’ cheese!

I got the Grecian Savory Crepe. It was amazing. It was feta, veggies, tomatoes… in a crepe. MMM.

Look at that feta!

It came with a cute side salad:

And of course I stole a bite of that mac n’ cheese. YUM!

One of the perks of living in LA is being so close to Universal Studios!! Ever since I moved out here, I get giddy at the thought of going. There are only a few rides, but the studio tour is so exciting. It makes me proud to work in this industry.

It was extra fun because we had fun friends to go with! We missed Ash and JR, but they had a 1 year anniversary to celebrate and another wedding to attend back east!

Here is Irving, Timmy, Erika, Michelle and I:

Our first stop was (of course) the Studio Tour!

Erika and Timmy went on it for the 2nd time that day!

I think Michelle really liked the tour too!

Oh yea, the Husband did too:

I love the sets on the backlot. These all look like real buildings, but they are all just facades for filming!

This one even looks like “Macys”!

Check out this old “Back to the Future” car they still have on the lot:

And then MY FAVORITE PART! Driving down ‘Wisteria Lane’!!!

Gaby’s House:

Lynette’s House:

Susan’s House:

And some others.

Mike’s Old House:

Then we passed Whoville (which has seen better days..it’s fading!):

And… OMG… The killer from Psycho!

War of the Worlds:

The real plane they “crashed”:

The lodge from “The Great Outdoors”:

YAY!

The boys:

Then we went on Jurassic Park!

Scary!

The world’s longest escalator (fact not confirmed).

And then we had a fun dinner at Granville in the Americana. It’s a great outdoor mall in Glendale.

The boys had matching shirts on. HAHA

I love that they have chandeliers OUTSIDE!

The awesome fountains that dance to the music:

What a great weekend!!

Irving’s birthday is on Tuesday, but I surprised him last night for a Birthday Picnic at the beach! Erika, Timmy and I surprised him with balloons when he got out of work.

We headed down to the Santa Monica pier.

Happy Birthday, Irving!

We had quite the picnic!!!

Irving really enjoyed it!

MMmm Cherries!!!

But the star of the picnic was, of course, the COOKIES!

I mean, LOOK at this!

We were totally entertained my the birds that kept trying to eat the trash. Poor things.

They were really funny to watch though. We felt bad for them. haha

Then we played frisbee for over an hour. What a workout!

Fun Fact about Irving: He is a righty and does everything with his right hand except throw a Frisbee!
