trippity trip.......girls only 2010

Footloose and fancy free for three days in SoCal.

That was the agenda this last week with my fabulous peeps....the sistahs.

Actually it was my early birthday present, (thanks Guy), and long over due. We were sans children and ready to kick it. That sounds impressive but really, everyone had to wait for me to walk so slowly, time was standing still. Annie was barking at me every five minutes." DON"T LIMP)! Limping puts more of a strain on my bad knee.

We threw caution to the wind and watched "Secretariat". It was a beautiful film but I was waiting for the housewife's husband to file for divorce every 10 minutes. He was always grumpy about her dividing her time between Virginia and Denver. The second movie was "Wall Street"...yawn. A movie for finance geeks, aka Guy, and chicks who want to see the most soulful eyes on the planet.....SHIA....sigh!!

In between showings we napped, shopped, ate Indian food TWICE!!
Pinkberry anyone???

Anywhoo. We got to see the beach and observe the flora and fauna of Venice: people showering and scrubbing all their naughty bits in public....adolescents making out on the beach, in the waves and on the sand.....surfers bailing in some pretty big waves. It was great.

A special thank you to the parking meter gods. We completely did NOT see the sign showing us where we needed to pay for our parking, came back 1.5 hours later and did NOT have a ticket.

WE stopped at the boys' house on the way home and had a great...great...GREAT time. Annie and Sarah chased the boys all over the playground. A group of people were having a birthday and the boys kept trying to go after the presents and food! Spence was pooped from running, laughing and flirting with the girls....Tyler swang on the swings the whole time.













And then we were done. Just like that. It was great to belly laugh, tease each other and carefully examine all the problems in the universe and solve them.

Can't wait for the next one.
