Vacation Time July 2011

So I know I just moved to Brawley, California and I just started a new job and I decided to request some time off. It was only three days off but it was much needed. I needed some time away from the heat and some time to just sleep in and sight see in Los Angeles and pretend I had never been there before. :)


I guess I didn't realize how much I hadn't done before in Los Angeles. But lets back up to tuesday night when Robert and I drove into San Diego to pick up his friend Rui (one of his groomsmen) from the airport. This would be the first time I would be meeting Rui. I had only heard funny stories from Rob and the family so I really didn't know what to expect except that he's a Police Officer in the State of CT. So we are circling the airport waiting for Rui and Rob keeps asking me if I see him....hmmm...ummm Rob I don't know what he looks like. haha! Rob finally finds him and we check into the W Hotel in Downtown San Diego. It was beautiful inside. I totally forgot to snap pictures of the room until we were leaving and instead just got this:

It was such a gorgeous day in San Diego! I was sad that we were leaving to go to smoggy L.A..

I had to snap a photo of Rob driving. I love how concentrated he looks navigating through the streets of Downtown.


But before we could leave San Diego we made a quick stop at:

 I ordered a scrambled egg with ham and of course I had to be mexican and add avocado and jalapenos!

Rob and Rui got the Tractor Combo:

"This is Rob's Plate Near the End"

But I have never seen someone ever finish a Tractor combo. I mean EVER! I have seen the Travel Channel and Hash House Featured on it and the main guy trying to finish it. But good ole Rui out it down with little effort.



"Rui's before"

                                                                                      "And Rui's After"

Our Journey then continued onto Los Angeles, California...the City of Angels...Home of the Dodgers...Hollywood...a place with so much to do and eat with so little time!

We check into the Sheraton, Universal Studios...down the way from Universal City Walk. The last time I came to this area we ate at a Brazilian Restaurant. It's the same concept of Rodizzio's Grill in Utah or Rei de Gallo in San Diego. I couldn't wait to eat every kind of meat and chicken. Dinner time comes and off we go. 

"The boys enjoying the evening"

"And yes finally a picture of me too with the boys"

So enough about food and dinner. i made sure not to get photos of of stuffing our faces. :)

Part two will follow tomorrow! It will have all my Warner Bros Studio Pictures.

Stay Tuned!
