Mexican Birthday Fun

As Vanessa and I both have our birthdays this week, we went to celebrate her birthday on Saturday. We went to Chevy's and her mom told the waitress it was both of our birthdays. We got sombreros and ice cream while they sang to us. The sombreros were ours to keep. To authenticate the Mexicanity of the Sombrero's a Made in Mexico sticker was placed on top. While Vanessa rocks a Sombrero quite well, she is not Hispanic at all. We also went and saw Transformers and I loved it. It was a great night.

All You Can Eat Dodgers Fun

As part of the balancing out of my attending the theatre, we went to the Dodgers game on Friday. We sat in the all you can eat section and got our money's worth. We heckled the other team like crazy and even caused the right fielder to drop an easy pop fly. It was also Rafael Furcal Bobblehead night. So it was a good night, except the Dodgers could not pull out the victory.

4th of July

We watched the City of La Verne 4th of July parade in the morning. A soldier who grew up with Vanessa in La Verne was killed in Iraq by a car bomb a few days before and many of the festivities of the day were done in his honor. A Blackhawk Helicopter did a flyover and 150 Harley's rode through the streets carrying the flags of each state and many American flags. There was a great fireworks show to finish it off.

Wicked Fun

We went to dinner and the theatre on July 3rd. Since I have a real job now we could afford to go to Lawry's The Prime Rib in Beverly Hills and see Wicked. I have to admit I actually liked the play. And to balance it out Vanessa is going to multiple Dodgers games.
