"Making Lemonade" and doing it in yellow

When life hands you lemons, it's a good rule of thumb that you should make lemonade. When Kirk and I rudely got denied at California Adventure this last Saturday I was about to throw a fit, but we turned the sour morning into a very fun day.
Always wanting to go explore it, Kirk and I ventured off to The Getty Museum in L.A. What a blast! He was interested in the architecture and I was intrigued by the famous artwork and gorgeous landscape designs. We were pleased all around. The Getty for those of you that have never been is this amazing museum perched along the high hillside of Los Angeles county and is home to some of the most famous artists' work. You get to take a tram up to the museum which makes it even cooler! It's also FREE to get in which, in today's terms makes it the perfect cost:)

This is an ORIGINAL Monet! I couldn't get any closer because they don't let you, and I couldn't use a flash (also because they don't want you to ruin the art) but it was so neat to see it! I remember studying so many of these artists in school and it was surreal to see the real deal!
Kirk and I in front of the "Naked Metal Lady" as we called it.
The views were spectacular! You could see for miles and miles although being that high was quite windy:)
After the Getty, Kirk and I went to visit our friends' art show in Long Beach. Kelly Williams is an amazing artist and you seriously need to find Rachelle and Kelly on our blog and check out there stuff- so rad!

So, I had so much fun in my yellow shirt that later that week we did the yellow theme again to ensure some more fun. And it worked. Kelly and Jason deVilliers just got back from their honeymoon and we were so anxious to hang out with them! We visited their new pad, which is super killer and had a great night with the new married couple. In keeping with our tradition, our band, "The Broken" rocked out for hours on rock band and we seriously gained thousands of fans. I'm a personal fan of the drums, but when we need to switch off, taking the mic is pretty fun too.

We know how to party! We may be dorks but at least we are dorks that have a good time!
I dunno what this is. They wanted an action shot of newlywed-ness and this is what we got. Jason is kinda scaring me with that knife..
Tacos, Rockstar energy drinks and cookies that night? Yeah, guess our summer diets will be starting next week...

Why were you denied at Adventure land? That is crazy. I am glad you were able to turn it into such a fun day:)

You have no idea how bummed I was that the two jobs he was looking into in California didn't work out! We were all rooting for sunny skies. Yes he's a project manager and believe me we have our sights on Cali someday!
