Celebrating Father's Day in LA

There are a few items on our LA Bucket List that we decided to cross off with Rich's parents.

Rich’s parents drove to LA for the weekend to celebrate Rich’s graduation from UCLA (!!) and Father’s Day.

They drove up on Saturday afternoon, picked us up from the Yard House at LA Live after 2 beers and we headed to China Town to check out Philippe's - the "Birth Place" of the French Dip, depending on who you talk to. We gorged ourselves in some amazing French Dip sandwiches! Check them out! (next on the bucket list is Cole's)





After our beers and French Dips, we headed to Culver City for happy hour and dinner. We stopped at Bottle Rock Wine Bar for a great happy hour wine menu. The weather was perfect to sit outside!





After happy hour, we headed over to Kay'N Dave's for some Mexican food and margaritas. I had the Shrimp Fajita Tostada and it was a.maz.ing!

So..side note, my camera has a setting that will turn twinkle lights into different shapes...why does my camera have this setting? you ask...beats me, but isn't it fun!?





Sunday morning, we slept in way too late and headed to Venice Beach for a Father's Day breakfast! Seriously the weather could not have been more perfect!

















After walking on the sand and enjoying the sunshine, we decided to take a little walking tour through the Venice Canals. It is so peaceful back there. The flowers were in full bloom, the houses were inviting with their bright colors and the company couldn't have been better!











We had a fantastic weekend! So much family time and sunshine!
