Weekend # 4: Lakers, Vegas, Santa Monica, Venice Beach

This week started out with my second Lakers game on Monday night.  I took one of my customers and we had a blast.  The celebrities were out in force! And, the Lakers won! You can see the new sightings of the celebs on the sidebar.  Jack, Denzel and Phillip Seymour Hoffman were my favorite catches.  I brought the binoculars this time - so the hunting was much easier.



Jack Nicholson and Donald Sutherland

Tuesday meant an early flight to Las Vegas for the World of Concrete (WOC) show.  I hosted lunches at The Trump Hotel - DJT and The Stratosphere - Top of the World.  For dinners, we hit The Stratta at the Wynn and Circo at The Bellagio.

After 11 appointments in two days, I slept in on Thursday and then headed out for the evening with customers for dinner and the Beatles Love show.  The show was really great. Definitely, strong on the political and psychedelic themes, but the dancing and the transitions were of the incredible calibre that all the Cirque shows bring.  I had to sneak some pictures on my i-phone.

Friday...and I am finally back in LA.  My friend Kevin and I catch the Marina Shuttle and head to Main Street in Santa Monica for some bar hopping.

Saturday was a gorgeous day.  High 70's, sunny and breezy.  After doing the 20 minute workout (I made Kevin do it too!), we headed for a walk on the beach over to Venice. It was early and there was lots of activity: exercise classes, volleyball, surfers and, of course, the usual crazies that come out on the boardwalk.

After the walk, we went to the pool at my complex.  It was a nice relaxing day after the busy week!

There is just so much to explore here in SoCal.  I am happy that I have started this journey.  I am very glad you have chosen to come along with me!

As for the next weekend, I am heading to Santa Barbara!  I am taking the train up.  Can't wait!

Until then,  I hope all you weekends are fabulous and fun!
