phil's visit


Nige and Phil headed off to a LA Dodgers baseball game one evening with the college group from Grace Church.  The tickets included all you can eat Dodger dogs, fries, nachos, peanuts and sodas, which equals two happy guys.
Driving to Santa Monica on the 110 Fwy, passing by downtown Los Angeles.
Phil taking a little snooze on the way.
We ate dinner at Buca di Beppo - an Italian restaurant.  We had baked rigatoni and pizza to share, as the servings are VERY large.  Very yummy though!
After dinner we walked down to the pier.
Even at 8:30 pm there were lots of people still swimming.
The Santa Monica ferris wheel.
Then we walked to the 3rd Street Promenad and had an ice blended coffee from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - the place where Phil and Natalie introduced us to the 'ice blended coffee'.  These were good, and good for a trip down memory lane, but a Starbucks Coffee Frappuccino will still win for us.
