Grayson & Liam ~ July Photos

The boys had a fun July.  Our au pair Maria took some fun photos of them this month at the park, McD's play land.  Daddy took the boys to Kidpalooza at Grant Park and they did some cool stuff like play with life size bubbles.  Summer is flying by and we can't believe it's almost halfway over.  

 

Santa Barbara ~ Girls Weekend

We went to Santa Barbara for a girls weekend with Amanda, her sister Aimee, Carissa, Diana and myself.  We fly into LA and spent the day at Carissa and Tom's company headquarters.  It was next level.  I couldn't believe the operation they have in place there - WOW!  After checking out their business we drove to Santa Barbara and spent two nights at Carissa's rental condo on the water.  The first day we had drinks and appetizers at Miramar.  It was absolutely beautiful!  We sat right on the water and had lovely drinks and appetizers.  We cancelled our dinner reservations and ordered in food and drank wine.  We had so much fun catching up and stayed up late.  The next day we had breakfast at a local coffee house and then drove to do a wine tasting at Margerum had lunch at Stonehouse at San Ysidro Ranch.  The restaurant was beautiful!  We had amazing wine at Margerum and all ordered cases of wine.  We went to dinner at Tre Lune and had the best Italian food.  The next day we drove back to LA and had dinner at Boa Steakhouse.  The restaurant was beautiful and we had drinks at Soho House afterwards.  We had the best weekend together and decided to make this an annual event.   

Las Vegas with the Ross Family

We went on a quick weekend trip to Las Vegas.  Our best friends Phil and Kat were also in town for Phil's company annual meeting.  We had a great time with them.  We got tickets to see Craig's favorite band Counting Crows.  It was a very intimate concert in a small venue which was fun, but somehow we had the same tickets as another group.  Luckily, the venue found better seats for the other couple so we didn't have to move.  We had a great time and always love spending time with them.
