I know its been almost a week but Valentines Day just passed and it couldn't of been better. I know alot of people HATE on Valentines day (ex. Singles Awareness day, yadda yadda) But i had the bright idea of "getting away" for the weekend, It wasn't a Real far trip but it was an adventure. I decided to (with the Help of my man "Psycho" Mike Catherwood) to book a hotel at Hotel Erwin in Venice Beach. The hotel is right on the boardwalk and puts a very modern feel on a mid to upscale Hotel. Thank you to Heather and Erin for all the help setting this whole occasion up.
As we arrived the first thing we saw is the Hotel Sign
We checked in and i could not wait for Natalie's surprise.
The room was a good nice size on the top floor.
I had a special surprise of Roses and Champagne that She was totally unaware of.

We had our own balcony
Our view, right outside of the skate park and muscle beach.
The room was hooked up with a 42" Flat Screen a mini bar, and a snacks spread
Once we got situated we got to go explore and walk around the boardwalk.
We saw some interesting things and interesting people. As we strolled around we saw one of the biggest bulldogs i have ever seen
haha he had a Kobe jersey on
It seemed like every fourth person had a dog, i roughly counted at least 25 pitbulls,4 pugs, a couple chihuahua, and a daschund.
We went to the skatepark and i snapped a couple shots
bail
this dude was shredding
We also walked to the permit walls, shit was pretty weak but this one was the best out of 5 pieces
We entered the night on the balcony chillin,relaxing, and popped the bub'
Didn't do much but lounge and watch movies into the night and have a late night pizza delivery. =)
Day 1 was over.

Day 2: The next morning we decided to walk the boardwalk early and walk further down the boardwalk. We ended up stopping at this breakfast spot supposedly voted best food on the boardwalk. (i cant remember the name) Pretty much everything on the menu looked tasty and all items were organic / locally grown.
Nat decided to start off with a Vanilla Latte
Then we ordered our meal , i ordered Huevos Rancheros : Black bean salsa with Huevos Rancheros, egg whites, Jack cheese, Sour cream and Guacamole. Nat ordered the "Puffed Pancake" souffle filled with fruit and side of Apple chicken sausage
After that we did some more sight seeing / people watching
check the middle finger.
The Predator
Wallllllll-E
This guy rocked the boardwalk with his Jimi Hendrix covers
When we walked back we stopped at the courts and the ball happened to roll to us but Natalie decided to SHOOT IT! She coulda balled them up bc they were playing like the damn Lakers. HA!
Check out time neared and on a whim we decided to rent beach cruisers and took a 5 mile ride down to Santa Monica and Back. Man bike riding is fun! We both Enjoyed it greatly!
It was a GREAT weekend in a comfortable, relaxing setting. We really got to spend time with eachother and just not have a worry in the world.
a very HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
Great Valentines Day Story! the middle finger was pretty funny. Only in Venice Beach. Oh and I think that place you went to go eat at is called, The Spot. I've always wanted to go there. Hear they have phenomenal food. Keep posting these picture stories. Your camera work is great.
