Living the L.A. Lifestyle

Well, this July 4th, Rebecca was forced to celebrate her country's independence with a German and two Canadians. We did our best to be 'American' by embracing the L.A. lifestyle, if only for a weekend. :) Something that Philipp has managed more successfully that we did...he'll be a stunt man in no time...with a brand new Harley and his own theme song. :)

We had a great long weekend in L.A. full of good company, plenty of sun, some sand, great food, and sightseeing. Rebecca and Philipp were great hosts....showing us the sights of their new home town. We went to Venice Beach for some popcorn and sand, to Hollywood to see Marilyn Monroe and the hand prints of some celebs, to Little Tokyo for ice cream and late night ambiance, to Santee Alley for some knock offs and hoochie gear, to the MOCA for an outdoor film, to the Observatory for a great view of the city...we also managed to sneak in some fish tacos, high tea, and some L.A. donuts! It was the relaxing (and fun) escape we needed. :) More pics on Flikr.

Thank you, Rebecca and Philipp! We had a great time! The word's out now. You'll be inundated with more guests soon. Well, we'll all bring some Chi-town flavor, so you won't miss the Midwest so much. :)
