What a beautiful day in LA!
And what better way to spend it but in a dog-friendly beach!
We have a full day on Sunday, and after sleeping in very late - - we finally headed out of the house at around noon, and we still have a neighbor's party to go to at 3. So with the limited time, we decided to go to Palos Verdes again.
The tide is low, but the water is cool enough, the sun is hot, and the wind is calm; to be able for all three of us to dip in today. So off we go to Trump National Golf Course, and parked our car at the public beach access' parking lot. I spotted a cool car, so I took a picture, not knowing that the driver and his wife was walking behind me to get back to the car. That was embarassing...
The trek to the beach is down the hill from the club, which always serves as a nice workout for the three of us. Someone was setting up a corner of the bluff for a wedding, and when we got back upstairs 2 hours later, they were just starting to put on the flowers. I got closer to take better pictures, and the florist joked "$10 a picture", lol. What a great place to get married. I believe, because the park is a public place, the wedding site can possibly be rented from the City for a few hundred hours or less. You just have to rent chairs, speaker systems, and flowers/decorations. At least that's what I did for our own public park wedding.
I got Tico a brand new frisbee from Petsmart last night - the best 99 cents I've ever spent. He went crazy chasing that toy in and out of the water, and when he's on shore, went crazy digging for it, flipped it over so he can bite into it, and drop it again, and flip it over, and so it goes. This went on for a long time, which amused me so much. I underestimated the usefulness of phalanges(sp?), or fingers in Science-speak. At least, it's what I remember it being called in High School.
The water is cold - but it felt good once the sun starts hitting your skin afterwards. I was baked. The boys and I were exhausted, but we had a great time. We ran into some really cool people, and chatted a bit about their dogs and our Tico. A lot of younger couple and their dogs were there today, so that was nice to see. During the cooler season, we saw mostly older folks with their dogs.
Afterwards, we stopped by our neighbor's house for a birthday dinner, and then hung out with our friend Bea in Pasadena for a dinner and some Bravo reality TV marathon.
"Regina Phalange" is Phoebe Buffay's alter ego on the show "Friends". Phoebe Buffay, is played by Lisa Kudrow. Phoebe started using the alternative ego Regina Phalange when she was trying to reach Ross, who is getting married to Emily in London. It was a great episode, and people who loved the show "Friends" will definitely appreciate that episode. Today's Tico's adventure of being phalange-less while trying to grab the frisbee reminded me of this episode, because of the absolutely absurd name.
On a later episode, she was going to change her name legally to that, but her fiance said if she was going to, he will change his from Mike something to Crap, first name, Bag last name.
Obviously, I can go on with Regina Phalange stories.
