 | July 3rd 2006 - It's Monday, the 3rd of July and my father has to work. I thought it was a long weekend and we would go out someplace, but I guess we have to stay at home today. What a let down, but then there's tomorrow Independance Day and I am looking forward to the fireworks. I had a pretty relaxing day today, took a long bath, slept for a while, watched some TV and read a book (dont believe me, see the picture below). Don't I look cute in my bathrobe. I have learnt to lay Peek-A-Boo, I-See-You now and my parents have a lot of fun with me doing that. In our native tongue its called "Kooki Acchi" |
Trip to South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa

 | July 2nd, 2006 - Los Angeles, the city of Malls, malls and more malls. People here love to shop and there are some really big malls here. The South Coast Plaza is definitely one of the biggest here in Southern California. The mall is really huge and 1 day is not enough to look at the stores. We reached the mall at around 11 AM. It was my lunch time and I had my 6 oz of milk and was energized for the rest of the day. |
We spent the morning going to the different stores like Gap, Gap Baby, Gymboree, Banana Republic, Sears. My parents had lunch at a new restaurant Z Tejas. This is the first time, they went to that restaurant and they liked the food and the service. After lunch we browsed around the mall. There is a section of the mall that has all the high end designer stuff like Cartier, YSL, Tiffanys etc. If you like that kind of stuff, its probably the place for you.
Anyone planning to stay there should book a hotel around the Plaza. I happened to see the Westin South Coast Plaza right opposite the mall.

 | July 1st, 2006 - Independance Day weekend is finally here. My parents don't plan to leave town this weekend. We plan to spend it in LA itself. Today was a slow day. We spent the day in Marina Del Rey. We went to the Lloyd Taber Library, CostCo and the Albertsons grocery store. My father wanted to watch the soccer games on TV. He was very disappointed when France defeated Brazil. Tomorrow we go to the South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, one of the biggest malls in Los Angeles. |

Happy Anniversary to my Parents

 | Aug 22, 2006 - It was three years ago that my parents got engaged in Bangalore. I am sure life has changed a lot for them since that day especially with me being there now. My uncle Rajesh was still at home and so my mom, uncle and I went to the Singapore Express restaurant in Marina Del Rey for lunch. It was a nice day for a walk so we walked to the restaurant. They ordered Chicken Sambhal and Singapore Noodles. Overall, I think my uncle enjoyed the food there. In the evening when my father came home, we went to the Elephant Bar Restaurant for dinner. We had a good time there. I tried by keep awake but alas, I feel asleep. |

 | Aug 21, 2006 - Today my Mom's cousin Rajesh visited us. He lives in New Jersey but is studyting in Michigan. He was here for a couple of days on some business. We had a good time during his stay here. We went to the Marina, had a nice long walk, coffee, ice-cream etc. I really enjoyed the cool breeze. I went an hour over my dinner time but did not complain. We listened to some Indian music all day long too. I had a good time with his visit as it meant someone other than my parents was there to play with me. He will be here tomorrow as well. Tomorrow is my parent's engagement anniversary. |
