Los Angeles with Friends

We had a jammed packed day the first day we were in Los Angeles. It started out driving through the canyon, past the Hollywood Bowl, and through rows of palm trees. We wondered why we ever left such a great place.

We got to spend time with Brooke, Jacob, and baby Miri. It was the beginning of the meet the baby tour and Miri is so dang cute. We also got to spend time with Stacy and her boyfriend, Ryan. My Ryan and Stacy went to grad school in NYC together then both moved to California. We had a great time catching up face to face.

We then went to Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier. We met up with the Strongs. We wish we had more time with them as it was so chaotic and crowded. There was a bomb threat or hazardous spill on the pier and everyone was evacuated. EVERYONE went to 3rd Street Promenade were we tried to find a place to sit and feed the kiddos.

Then we were off to visit with Justin, Stephanie and baby Pierce Chapman. Pierce is 3 months old. It is fun to go through this stage of life with friends. Our kiddos will grow up being in the same grade and hopefully we will get to hang out and have them be best friends in the future. Unfortunately we didn't get a photo with them.

What a great way to be welcomed back to Los Angeles.
