A Why Not Weekend


Our weekend was a spur of the moment, why not weekend. Everything we did was decided an hour before it happened, and I loved it.

It all started at 6:10pm Thursday night when Jeff and I got invited to Hammitt's holiday trunk sale at 12th & Highland. I rushed home from yoga (that got out at 6) and we walked into the party at 7:15 (that is oober record time for this lady). 

Red carpet with Chef Jessie

After a glass of wine, a beautiful brandy colored Avalon Croc bag and a couple photos we were swooped from the party at 8pm by Tony G and off to The Music Box in Hollywood to see Dawes & Blitzen Trapper...I had never heard of either band, so I went in with no expectations (the best way to see a show). I was blown aways by their 3-4 part harmonies, everyone in the band played at least 2 instruments and they both had the most beautiful 70's rock sound. Besides every song sounding like the last, I'd give them both a B+

Outside the music box...sold out show.

While at the show we got invited to Big Bear for the weekend, and without hesitation we were in. Friday morning we slowly woke up, got our snowboard gear together and headed up the mountain. Once we made it to the cabin, we played Apples to Apples for 5 hours, made a delicious stir-fry and fell asleep to Return of the Jedi on VHS...what a classic.

Our 5 hour game of Apples to Apples...that I won!

Amber making some tradition style popcorn...my favorite snack of all time.

Saturday- we slept in and arrived at Snow Summit around noon 30. Now, I did not go boarding once last season, and these were probably the sketchiest/ scariest conditions I've ever experienced. With every carve you could hear your board shaving the ice and prayed your edge wouldn't catch, leaving you face first in the snow. Luckily, we all made it out safe. And for a $30 half day lift ticket, it was totally worth it to get out in the snow again.

Life is all about the adventures. So get up and go!
