• Spa Week…everything is only $50 and you have
  a list of spas and treatments to choose from. 
  I got a 45 min aromatherapy massage at Le Merigot Spa…a really nice
  beach hotel in Santa Monica. 
  I love the thick terry cloth robes and sandals they give you as well as
  the complimentary cucumber water and hot tea…I feel so pampered.  The massage itself was amazing…felt utterly
  relaxed afterwards.  I think next time
  though I’m going to try a male masseuse, hehe. 
  Afterwards we went to Border Grill for dinner and drinks.

  Movies at the Santa Monica Pier…they were showing Roman Holiday
  with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn.  It
  was so much fun to watch it outdoors under the stars next to the ocean.  Even though we brought chairs and blankets,
  it was extremely cold without someone to snuggle up to.  Since it was for a good cause, we bought a
  whole bunch of donation tickets and got buzzed off of the wine tasting event
  they had beforehand.  They even had
  kettle corn…so yummy!

  

  Check Yo Ponytail…got tickets to hear Diplo and
  Switch spin at the Echoplex.  Had sushi
  beforehand at the Sunset Plaza…the rolls there were so delicious.  The music was really good…danced for most of
  the night.  Don’t know why suddenly they
  started playing hip hop at the end. 
  Surprisingly a good number of people out even though it was raining.

  San Onofre State Beach…some friends camped here for the
  weekend but I ended up just driving out to surf for a few hours.  The waves were a bit chaotic because of the
  rain storm but I could see how this would be a great place to learn because of
  the very long break.  A bit rocky though
  so definitely need to remember my booties next time.  After some BBQ’d sausages and beer…took a
  nice relaxing nap.

  Magic Castle…it was my second time here but
  since I didn’t remember much from my first time everything seemed new to me,
  haha.  We ended up only watching one of
  the shows in the theatre and just walking from magician to magician.  It was fun trying to figure out how they did
  the tricks.  They make the drinks here
  really strong…apparently the magic is much better when you’re drunk

  Mediterraneo…Greek styled tapas restaurant in Hermosa Beach. 
  We had built up quite an appetite since we biked from Hermosa to Marina
  del Rey.  It’s nice to watch sunsets
  along the beach.  It’s definitely getting
  chillier at night now.  I especially liked the tortilla espanola (potato omelette), chicken brochettes and polpette (italian meatballs).
