A Yummy Weekened

Damn I'm full! My dad and Carolyn came out to visit me this weekend and we went out to eat 4 times! BUT- it was quite yummy for the tummy! :P

They got here Saturday morning, so I of course gave them a "grand tour" of my apartment and the surrounding area, which included the park, The Grove, and The Farmers Market. We ate lunch at The CheeseCake Factory, (which I hadn't eaten at since Trevor and I saw Barry Manilow in Chicago YEARS ago,) and it was reeeeally good.

Saturday night, Chris came over (for the first time!) so I of course gave him "the tour" as well. He arrived almost 2 hours earlier than I was expecting, and my parents were at their hotel taking a nap, and all my roommates were at work ... soooo ... yeah ... we came up with a way to kill time! ;) Heehee. And some more heee. Yummy. I got us reservations at Maggianos at the Grove, and dinner was super yummy. We talked with "the parents" and overall, I thought it was a lovely evening! (I almost choked on my pasta when my dad said he thought Chris looked a little like TREVOR, L0L!) Now THAT was funny. Hmmm- must've been the hair. And Chris almost choked on his pizza when Carolyn started talking about how she watched The Jesus movie in mandrin Chinese- lol.

Sunday my dad, Carolyn, and I drove up to Malibu and took some pretty pictures at this little secluded beach. We found a cute restaurant right on the beach and ate lunch there, (I got french toast,) and my dad ordered fish tacos ... something he's been obsessed with for awhile now. Afterwards, we went to The Beverly Center, (a huge mall,) because my dad wanted to see the shops and he was convinced that a "Woody Allen film might have been filmed there!" Unfortunetly, he was sorely disappointed when he realized it wasn't the right mall. THEN after THAT, Carolyn wanted to see some "mansions," so I gave them a little tour of Beverly Hills. To top the day off, we headed to The Elephant Bar for dinner, (where I was subjected to being embarrassed by Carolyn by being forced to take pictures in front of the big elephant head, with LOTS of people watching ...) On the way home, my dad wanted me to show him where the Jay Leno show is filmed, (because it's in Burbank,) sooo we did that too!

And THAT, ladies and gentleman, was my weekend. =)
