Surprise Trip

For those of you who weren't in on the secret, I had been planning a surprise trip to see my best friend Kirsten for her birthday on Monday. Her husband Greg and I had been scheming for months and finally the time had come. She showed up at the airport blindfolded (cops were looking at us funny) and was totally surprised!

On Monday, Kirsten's actual birthday, we went to the Glen Ivy Spa. This is a crazy cool place where we were able to give ourselves a clay body mask and we got to go underground into the grotto and do a sea kelp body treatment. I couldn't have asked for better weather as we were parading around in our bikinis in 85 degree weather. We even got a bit of a tan laying out at the pool.
The good weather has stayed with us all week and we were able to go on a long hike with Bella and the dogs, Olive and Hunter.

We went out to see Shannon, Kirsten's sister-in-law, and took a stroll from the Manhattan to Hermosa boardwalk and back. Again, it was so nice to be in the sun!
Greg, Kirsten's husband, is an assistant coach for one of the local high school varsity men's teams. We went to the cross town rival game of the year and his team kicked some butt! This was a cool game because Kajsa, Kirsten's sister, is actually a cheerleader for the other team. The whole family attended and everyone was happy at the end of the night, especially Greg!

Well, my time here is nearing its end. I am headed to northern Cali to spend the weekend with my girl Christina and her hubby Stacy. I am sure that more pics are forthcoming. I want to formally thank Ty for playing single dad this week at home so that I could take this trip.
