Reunited at last



Well, this has certainly been a busy week for me! My 3 best friends from nursing school came out to visit from Friday through Tuesday. It was the best/most fun weekend I have had in a long time. We did LOTS. On Friday we started off the day with a nice lunch on Venice Beach, then shopping @ the Santa Monica promenade and Melrose. At night we went to The Standard Rooftop Bar, on the 13th floor of The Standard Hotel in downtown LA. The view was beautiful, the sky was clear and full of stars, and we were surrounded by the glowing lights of the surrounding skyscrapers. LOVED IT and definitely added that place to my faves list.

On Saturday, we woke up & drove to Malibu for a day at the beach and lunch at my favorite beach side restaurant, Dukes. We layed/walked around the beach, and then we drove to West Hollywood and got milkshakes at a place called "Millions of Milkshakes" on Santa Monica Blvd. They were sooo good. Sat night we did sushi dinner at Geisha House and we decided to get bottle service @ Boulevard 3, a dance club in Hollywood. It was Rachel's birthday so we splurged a little. We had the VIP treatment and it was super fun!! We danced all night and ended up getting a sweet deal on our bottle of PINK vodka :)


Sunday we did nothing but lay around, order take out, and watch dvds.

Monday night we went to aopen mic comedy show right here by my apartment @ a mexican/cuban restaurant called "Cuba Libre". We had a good dinner, and even Adam came along. Then we walked across the street to the Dresden, one of my favorite bars here in my neighborhood. I had class the next day and the girls flight left kind of early, but our weekend was great!!

I'm picking up Mom & Dad at LAX in about an hour. I can't wait. I called in sick today so I could spend the day with them. Oh well! I have sick time and I figure this is a good enough excuse to use it. My "recognition ceremony" aka transition from RN resident to RN I is tomorrow. I will make a post about it! Miss and love everyone.
