Mother’s Day Weekend Wrap-Up
I picked my mom up at the train station Friday night then proceeded to get lost in downtown because the stupid freeway entrance was closed. Annoying.
Saturday morning my mom and sister did the Revlon Run/Walk then went for manicures/pedicures while I was out getting another couple inches chopped off my hair. Baby steps. It’ll be short(er) before I know it. While us girls were being pampered, my dad drove up to LA with the dog. We all then met up and went for dinner at Cheebo. In case you wondering, I had the gnocchi and yes, it was delish.
Following dinner, we went back to the hotel, then walked over to Jerry’s deli to pickup dessert. While my parents and I were inside, my sister managed to use the dog to get two cute guys to chat her up on their way to Guy’s. I joined them outside, and we all talked some more. Apparently both of us are lacking in sufficient flirting skills, as no phone numbers were exchanged. We had dessert (ohmygod, Snickers cake–yum) upstairs and then my sister and I each headed back to our respective apartments.
Sunday morning, we went out to my sister’s neck of the woods, Santa Monica, and spent forever and a half trying to find a restaurant for brunch that would allow dogs on the patio. Santa Monica appears to have strict ordinances not allowing that, FYI. We finally found a place to eat and as usual, stuffed ourselves silly. After lunch we drove out to Malibu and walked around the beach. The weather was absolutely perfect and the sky was a perfectly clear blue, as you can see in the picture.
It was a wonderful weekend and I’m happy my parents came up so we could all spend it together. Happy Mother’s Day mom, I love you!
