The "Best Man" I Know ;)

Of course Gary is really the best man I know (along with my daddy!), but our best man from our wedding, Gary's cousin Andrew was here to visit ;)  Here's the low down on what we did:
Day 1 - Andrew's flight was delayed and got in at 2:35am - yuck!  Gary had training for his new job the next day, so we didn't get to sleep in much, but Andrew and I relaxed on the beach in Malibu.  On our way, Andrew mentioned he wanted to get a tan and how it was cloudy so he couldn't.  I informed him the clouds magnify the sun, yet we didn't feel like we were getting any, and neither of us normally burn easily.  Yet somehow the California sun is a whole new animal and we ended up with the worst burns we've ever had!  We ate a wonderful lunch on the pier.
Day 2 - We took Gary back to his training, while Andrew and I attended church.  We then ate at the Counter with Amanda and Jeremy.  In the afternoon we just relaxed - movies, games, naps, etc.
Day 3 - The 4th of July.  We chilled all day, as mine and Andrew's skin hurt too much to do much of anything.  In the evening we met up with Jeremy and Amanda again and went to the Rose Bowl for fireworks. 
Day 4 - I returned to work, and the boys went to the Hollywood area and ate at Pinks.
Day 5 - Andrew went to work with Gary and the explored Old Town.
Day 6 - The boys went to see Transformers in IMAX 3D while I was working in the morning; however, I got off early (and for the following day) because the baby's great-grandfather passed away and they were traveling for the funeral.  We planned to head to Venice Beach, but Gary's car went crazy and had to go to the shop - it was a quick fix, but we just hung out at home for the evening.  
Day 7 - Andrew and I went to Rodeo and then went shopping at the Beverly Center.
Day 8 - We planned to go to Mexico, but some things prevented that so we went to Coronado Beach in San Diego instead.
Day 9 - After church, we went to Venice and then took Andrew to airport. 
We had a great time and miss him a lot!!!
