Mobile Monday - Best Friends Forever

As promised, I will be blogging regularly again. Our website has been neglected but it's time to change that so hopefully some of you will continue reading again! One thing I want to add to our blogging repertoire is what I will call Mobile Monday. Since everyone on this planet is now equipped with smart phones, I want to start posting photos that we've taken while out and about. Sometimes you don't always have a DSLR readily available for every photo op, so you have to bust out your iPhone, BlackBerry, or Droid. Here's what we've been up to:

It's no secret that we've got love for our friends. L&O would be nothing without the love and support of our circle of friends. The previous weekend, I took a few of my friends ice skating in Pasadena. This rink actually means a lot to me. It was the very first ice hockey club team I played for when I was a child and we even ended up winning a Southern California Amateur Hockey Association championship. I was one of the captains on that team so my coach even let me keep the championship cup trophy!


After working up an appetite on the ice, I took my friends to a place that also reminds me of childhood - Lucky Boy Burgers in Pasadena. My family would eat here all the time after my hockey games and practices and we would always get a larger order of their chili cheese fries. Definitely one of my top 5 favorite burger joints ever.


The next day I came across a deal for some great seats at a Dodgers game for cheap! Fortunately the boys in blue came out with a win and we got to see Rod Barajas go yard!

Every Friday night home game, the stadium invites the fans onto the field for Friday Night Fireworks after the game so luckily we got to experience that. I've personally never set foot on Dodgers grass so this was a treat for me!




Later that weekend, some friends and I made a day trip to Long Beach in search of a hangover cure. We found it at Ports 'O Call in the shrimp fajitas plate. 1 1/2 lb of seafood glory.


After stuffing our faces, we stopped by the shore to check out some tide pools and appreciate the beauty of living in Southern California.


Yesterday, one of our friends invited everyone over for a BBQ and bonfire. Nothing beats good food, good vibes, and good company. Life is good.




I'm sure most of you have seen photos like this going viral around the world. Well, we've started to join the fun at the office. PLANKING! Get into it!
