Welcome to la la land - the world's largest parking lot

So I arrived Saturday morning (11th) at Burbank airport and to no surprise, Gayan and Bo are late and I will bet top dollar I know WHO is the late one. I don't want to mention any names *ahem*Gayan*ahem* but you know who you are. ;)
Alright, first stop: Venice beach where there is a muscle beach gym and guys are flexing their muscles all day long.

Yes, that snake is real.


This is venice beach in February. The weather was friggin' fantastic!

Charisma and I attempting to fly a kite. Lost cause really... :)


We got tired of trying to fly the kite so we just chilled on the sand instead


Bo looking rather comfy

After we all received a new hairdo by the wind, we headed to 3rd Street Promenade. Awesome place ... lots of bands and performers along the entire way.

Gayan and I at 3rd St.

*Yawn* Rise and shine. It's noon! We were all exhausted from the day before. We headed to Malibu to check out the cool cars and the beach.
Adamsons House on Malibu. It's a state park actually. This property is right on the beach.


Here's the view from the Adamsons House in Malibu


Here's another view from the Adamsons House in the evening

Afterwards, we went to moonshadows for some drinks. That place is awesome. It's right by the ocean and the deck had all these "beds" where if you're drunk, you could just pass out there. ;p
Dinner was at Hotel Mondrian. Since we had to wait for a table at Asia de Cuba, we went to enjoy the Sky Bar. Of course alcohol was involved.

Bo and I at the bar at Sky Bar. We were waiting to close the tab.


Gayan and Bo at Asia de Cuba. Food was great. The portions were huge!!!

Drove to City of Industry (what a name!) to meet with Thao for lunch. That girl ... surprised us by telling us she just gave birth to a baby girl 10 weeks before. Congratulations Thao!!
Gayan and Thao and Banana Bay restaurant


Gayan, Thao and I - we were in the same group for our senior project in college

We headed back towards LA to go check out Santa Monica Pier

This exhibit was on the beach. I saw the model in a bookstore at 3rd St.
