...there's no place like home...

once again i found myself in california for the weekend (oh wow, feeling the pressure since amy just told me that she's looking forward to reading this... better make it good). back to the weekend... spent most of it being sick-courtesy of the wonderful germs of kindergarten.

ashley, tom , and i road tripped it out. stopping along the way at del taco and (and 1 hour later this is all i got... haha).

we went out to lunch with the grandparents, all the while i was burning up with a fever and trying not t cough up a lung... hit up the garment district in la... and i tried not to die. during the car rides i ran down the whole synopsis of wicked for the parentals. we've decided to see it again... hopefully on Broadway during our trip to new york in october... still putting the pieces together for that.sunday was sunday. went to a farewell... wow i'm getting old. andy and rebecca came over for sunday dinner and some play time. we taught 'em how to play pasoi. good times. took some ny quil and i was gone!

monday was the best day. the girls woke up early and went to get pedicures. i have the best looking set of toes known to man right now. electric blue with hand painted zebra print! yes that is right. Sweet!

after the relaxing morning we saved tom from chewing off his arm and headed out to newport to have lunch and get yummy cupcakes. the food of choice was RUBY'S! yum. gotta love burgers and milkshakes. here you can see the beautiful toes next to the classic red seats. then came the highlight of the trip.... SPRINKLES! love this place. rebecca had a point. these cupcakes are to die for! we got 18 cupcakes! yup. 18 cupcakes. they ranged from coconut, red velvet, black and white, cinnamon and sugar, lemon, banana, chocolate marshmallow, vanilla, dark chocolate, and maybe a few others. my favorite so far are the red velvet and black and whites. yummy!!!!!
that night our drive was interrupted by witnessing an accident. yes a young man fell asleep at the wheel and hit one of those yellow trash cans filled with water, which spilled all over the two lanes of I-10. he later hit the cement barrier after breaking his front right wheel completely off. we pulled over, blocked traffic, took pictures, filled out paperwork, and made videos. good times.

it was good to be home for a few days. it was good to have fun and just do basically nothing!
