Easter Recap, Dodger's Game & East Coast Plans!

This week, today is my Friday! Woo hoo!  Jeff and I have been so busy lately, always on the go.  Busy is fun, as long as I can have my coffee.  Last weekend, we headed up to Bakersfield to be with my family for Easter.  One of my best friends, Brooke, also came back with us.  We had a great time.  We arrived around 9:30am on Saturday morning and my mom made us fritters.  They were SO GOOD!  I haven't had them in years.  Then, we went to a couple of my favorite boutiques and headed to dinner at Benji's, one of my parent's favorite Basque restaurants, and to mass.  We went to a church that we don't normally attend, just because of the time frame that we were working with.  THEN, we headed out to a couple of bars to see my friends from high school that were in town for the weekend.  We woke up early Sunday morning to help set up for my family's arrival.  My parent's hosted both of their families, which is easily over 50 people.  It was so much fun.  We left around 5pm Sunday with our bellies full and fully exhausted!!

Last night, we met up with my parents at the Dodger's game.  We had a great time, and they won!  We also got to see a couple of home runs.  My parent's have AMAZING seats (3rd row on 3rd base line), which also come with free food for the entire game..so needless to say, we had a cheat day.  I almost forgot how much I love Dodger Dogs!

We got home around  11pm last night and tried to pack because we are leaving tonight again!  We are heading to the East Coast to see Jeff's family early tomorrow morning, so we got a hotel room near the airport.  We are flying out of LAX, but back into Orange County, so we definitely didn't want to leave a car and have to drive all the way back to LAX to get it when we get home on Monday (especially since our flight arrives at 10:30 Monday night!).  I looked into taking a shuttle from Newport to LAX, but it would have to pick us up at 4:00 - 4:30 am to account for all of the stops...not gonna happen.  So we are staying at The Westin Los Angeles Airport, which is about 2 miles away from the airport and has a free shuttle service running every 15 minutes.  My parents always used to get a room by the airport for early morning flights when I was younger, so I think it will be fun :)  Now we won't have to leave until around 6-6:30am.  Much better.  Luckily, I sleep really easily on planes, so I am planning on catching up on some zzz's then!  Hope everyone has a great weekend!
