While Day One was jam-packed full of fun and new experiences, Day Two was the perfect counterbalance. We started the day with a glorious sleep! I think being able to sleep in is one of the top 10 luxuries in life, most definitely!
Once we finally got ourselves out of bed, we made our way to the nearest caffeine station, a definite must for any "morning." ;)
Here we are closing the "door" of our Venice pad.
The place came with two beach cruisers so we wanted to give them a go. The problem was that there were four of us and only two of them. Hence the following hilariousness:
Quid and I attempted many ways at writing tandem. She's so little that she fits just about anywhere...
Bub was on the other cruiser and Pap was on her rollerblades. The girl can still work a self-portrait though. Incredible!
On to coffee we were...which ended up being just down the block. Haha! I don't think we would've made it that much farther though so good thing it was :)
Groundwork Coffee Company is a Venice Beach hippie's paradise. There were so many characters in there! I think the four of us stood out like sore thumbs :). The coffee was strong and good and they serve breakfast until 1pm on weekends-the breakfast burrito was delish!
Later that night the girls had a special potluck dinner planned back at the Venice pad.
Pap and her mad kitchen skills created thyme butter and salt/pepper salmon as well as a peppery lemon chicken, both of which she cooked fresh on the grill outside!
The girls brought yummies such as honey fried chicken wings, tofu salad, chinese chicken salad, spinach salad, chicken tortilla soup and of course, rice which made up the rest of the spread. There was so much food! Here is the table with everyone getting their grub on!
As a special surprise, the girls had a masseuse come in house for the evening and everyone got a massage! One of the lovely ladies from our conference, Kaoru, is an amazing masseuse and she came with her table and gave each one of us a wonderful massage during the evening. There were also a few presents that I had to open that shall remain in their boxes. Sorry! Not for blog-eyes to see ;)
Also on the agenda that night was a "movie under the stars" outside on our private patio. We watched the movie "Bridesmaids" and laughed our heads off at this sometimes crude, but also incredible hilarious movie. Perfect timing too because it just came out on DVD in time for this evening!
Here's the gang at the end of the evening. It was also Kaoru's birthday the next day so we stuck some candles into the cake and sang to her too. Great fun with all the ladies! I am thankful for each one <3
To Pap, DD, Quid and Bub~THANK YOU for the best-for-me Bachelorette that a girl could have asked for. You know me so well! I enjoyed so much all that we did, but most of all, I enjoyed just being with the four of you. Thanks for finding the cool Venice pad, for organizing an incredible dinner with friends, for fun times in Malibu and for the late night talks too!
Here's to the bridesmaids of the century! <3
