It all started with booking "expensive" tickets for the Lion King Show - yeahhhh, finally I was going to see it live on Broadway....
And then the fight to get a free rental car for the weekend from Hertz.....
One of the few trips where I packed an hour before leaving....
The crappiest rental car (Ford Focus) ever....
The beautiful drive to LA with the sun doing its magic on the mountains and the fields....
Leaf Organics being closed at 8pm instead of 9pm (as listed on their webpage)....warranting for change in dinner plans......
Fantastic dinner with Rohit, Sejal, Anish, Dharam n Hubby at CPK ....soup and tostada pizza yumm-O!
Followed by a "like it" coffee+dark chocolate Coldstone icecream topped with toasted almonds....mmmmmmm!
Meeting Nikesh (Anish's roommate) for the first time, hours before his India trip....and having a very interesting conversation on whether he should get married, get engaged, do both or niether :)
Lunch at Fresh Paradise - Fresh squeezed sugarcane juice with ginger and lemon, dosa, chhole, pav bhaji, and grilled sandwiches!
The awesome drive to San Diego in the carpool lane - again with the sun rays playing their magic on the Pacific.....
The cloudy but fantastic sunset at Del Mar beach .....while watching the surfers riding out the last waves of the day......
The Lion King show - live on Broadway San Diego...it was truly a delight to watch all the brilliant performances....and the orchestra was sooperb!
The drive back to LA with "Happy Birthday To You" songs for Dharam at midnite :)
Buying the lucky bamboo in a cute elephant pot from Ralphs....
The Gujju Thali awesome-amazing lunch at Rajdhani in Artesia.....
The most peaceful and relaxing drive back from LA to Folsom....read a book for most of the time along with soothing music. Hubby treated me royally by driving the entire 400 miles himself :)
All in all, a great break from the routine life, mouth-watering food, and wonderful memories of fun with family!!!!
Here's a picture of my hubby, me, my sister and her fiance in LA!
Happy Birthday Dharam and Anish! Here's wishing you guys a great year ahead!
