Eat Real Festival

Eat Real Festival came to Culver City and we were excited to go check it out. 

They had all sorts of fun stuff to check out.

But we were more interested in the food!

I have never really understood shaved ice – to me it’s just snow, but it looks cool.

4th of July Fireworks

We hiked up the hill again this evening, this time to catch the 4th of July fireworks.
Looking east, you can see the planes lining up for landing at LAX.

Century City did a really good job with their fireworks!

Unofficial fireworks are not legal, but people light them up anyway. They were everywhere!

There were a lot of people up at the hill!

Stroh

BevMo got their 5 cent sale on so we went there to pick up some wine when I saw my buddy in the rum section, I had to take him home with me!

Culver City Skatepark

My plan was to do absolutely nothing today, but that was not accepted, so I agreed to come along to the park to take some photos.

Mi Ranchito

We’ve been trying to explore our neighborhood a little more, so today we decided to check out Mi Ranchito, a Mexican restaurant not far from us. Food was good and they had lots of interesting stuff on the walls you could check out if you get bored with your company 🙂

I think we will be coming back here, Winnie says their menudo is the best one in our neighborhood, between all the mexican places we have tried so far.

The Boiler

We went to the Boiler in Chino for dinner, amazing food! Steam kettle, southern style cuisine. I want to go back!

Scottish Festival in OC

We went to a Scottish Festivals to check out bagpipes and men in kilts.

They were everywhere!

They had a bag pipe competition, which was cool, but it got a little tiresome after a while.  To me they all sound great, but they are very loud!

The guys in the Pasadena Bagpipe Band is alternative, as you would expect. My friend Megan had dyed her hair red in honor of her Scottish heritage, or something.

After Work Drinks

We’re started off Memorial Day Weekend right with drinks after work. Since I get off work first, I enjoyed the sun in downtown Culver City before meeting up with everyone else.

Gyenari have changed their name to Moko so we went there to see if anything else had changed. They’ve got punch! I didn’t like it that much, but it still looks good!

Strawberry Festival

We stopped by Oxnard Strawberry Festival on our way home from Santa Barbara. Lots of people that made me uncomfortable, but the strawberries were awesome!
