What a May it's been. Mother's day, graduations, birthday parties and showers, rain that is. The last two weeks have been crazy busy. My cousin Noel Luis graduated from USC on the 15th. Very proud of him, even if it is from usc. The event brought my whole family together, grandparents, aunts, uncles, parents and cousins. Weekend started off at Bottega Louie: http://www.bottegalouie.com/ in Downtown LA. Although the web site needs work, the restaurant and food were great. I ordered a black and blue Mojito, which I think may have been one of the restaurant's signatures because I saw about 5 different people with the same drink. See above picture. For dinner I had the Fettuccine Belmondo, with Cherry tomatoes, garlic, arugula, extra virgin olive oil & Reggiano parmesan with a glass of House Cab. The restaurant and bar were packed and although we sat down at 9:45 and didn't eat until about 10:30, the service and the food were worth it.
Was a beautiful morning in Orange County. Later that day 14 of us met for lunch at Sugar Shack Cafe. Food was ok. The company was what made the day. Spending the day with my mom and family, aunts, uncles and cousins. We had a great time, and it was hard to say good bye. In life, all good things must come to an end and they did for us that day. We said our good byes, laughed, cried and hugged. We're
looking forward to next year as my brother, and three cousins all graduate next year, three from high school and one from college. The picture is of my cousins on my mom's side minus my cousin Robert who couldn't make it. Next family event, my 30th bday. Stay tuned...
