Girl's Weekend

 This past weekend I had a girl's weekend in Los Angeles with my best friend Kelli. One of my good friends from many years ago was getting married, but kids were not invited so Andy decided to stay back and have a boy's weekend with Max. Part of their boy's weekend included hitting balls at Top Golf. My friend Kelli, who lives in MN, flew to L.A. to meet me. We had a great time and I definitely needed some Kelli time. 

On Friday we walked all over downtown L.A. and then went to dinner. We picked up a bottle of champagne to share in our room as we spent hours catching up since we don't get to see each other in person very much. It ended up being a late night filled with a lot of laughs and chatter. We also learned that in January we will have been friends for 20 years. That's a long time!

After breakfast on Saturday, we got a ride to Runyon Canyon for a hike and some exercise. It's a very popular trail with the locals as there were a lot of people on it. The views of downtown were great and the hike is in Hollywood Hills so we got to see some pretty cool homes.



Notice all that smog. Gross!




After the hike, we headed back to our hotel and spent some time at the rooftop pool. It was nice to just relax by the pool with some girl time before we headed to the wedding. 

The wedding was less than a block away at The Johnson Club. It was on the rooftop and it was pretty amazing. The details in the wedding planning were unreal. It was absolutely a beautiful wedding and reception. The best part is that EVERYONE danced the whole night. Everyone was on the dance floor, even the groom's grandma. It was a very fun night. 












I am glad I have a friend like Kelli. It's so awesome that we don't get to see each other in person very much but when we do it's like no time has passed. We just pick up where we left off and just laugh and talk non-stop. I am glad Kelli was able to meet me in L.A. for the wedding and have a quick girl's weekend away for an epic wedding.
