Los Angeles

---

Los Angeles was also a great time. We left Indio on Monday morning and went straight to Newport Beach where we ate delicious chronic tacos on the beautiful beach. It was such a nice change of weather-- breezy and cool not scorching hot. After napping and chilling on the beach for a while we made our way to Northridge for my favorite dinner with the family. Spaghetti Carbonara. YUMMY. (No pictures necessary, Uncle Beppe's recipe is special hah)

On Tuesday morning we woke up late and headed into Hollywood, where we ate lunch at Pink's hotdogs. Notice in the pictures how BIG Evan's hotdog is OMG (haha thats what she said). Anyways after that we met up with Eric and my friend Ryan (who I am going to South Africa with so MANY pictures of him to come in the future) and also to say hello to my 'old family", casa de Angulo. It was so fantastic to see Lynette, David and Olivia and meet the new addition to the family Benji. SO cute. Finally, we made our way to Emma, KT and Paloma's house in West Hollywood where we cooked dinner -- straight out of Trader Joes --YESSS and laid low, watched glee and played games 😊

Wednesday morning Evan made all of us girls french toast (he's the best) and Emma, Paloma, Evan and I left for the airport to go pick up Jamie. From the airport we headed to Venice Beach where we were literally almost blown away. Actually I think that Emma and Paloma were flying hahaha. We ate lunch at the whales fry, along with a few shots. I mean we are on vaca. Walked the board walk and then CRAZY ASS Jamie and Evan went running into the ocean. IT WAS FREAKING FREEZING. haha check out the pictures. After freshening up after the sand shower we had for lunch, we headed off to Hamburger Mary's. Where we played bingo, drank floozy drinks, and got pushed around by good looking gay men and transvestite women. IT WAS AWESOME. The best part was that if you got bingo you had to run the length of the restaurant while everyone else balled up their non winning bingo sheets and threw them at the winner. (Stephanie won.. she's running in the picture) If you called bingo but prematurely they would bring you to the front and spank you in front of everyone. SO FUN. It was so great to see my cousins Jesse, Lindsay, Alexi and his girlfriend Stephanie and also Isaac and Aaron. AMAZING.

Thursday morning it was off to VEGAS.
