Day 1 - Monday March 24, 2008
We decided for everybody to meet up at the Getty Villa before the big reunion/wedding anniversary dinner. There were about 25 family/friends who drove from various places in California to meet for the occassion. The Getty was a great place to meet and kill time. It is a small museum so we made a reservation ahead of time. There was a really interesting collection of very old coins that I loved. There was also a beautiful garden. They had a nice cafe to grab snacks, too.

After the Getty Villa, everyone drove over to Taverna Tony's for dinner. We made a reservation ahead of time because we were a big party. This Greek restaurant had a great atmosphere and even better food. This was the best Greek food I've had in a while! They served so many courses that I barely had room to try everything. At the end of the night they had a belly dancing performer who entertained at the various tables. The place filled up quickly. I hope to go back soon.
Day 2 - Tuesday March 25, 2008
Day 3 - Wednesday March 26, 2008
That night, I left my roommate to go meet up with another friend who is from Eagle Rock. We went to a local spot near his house called The Chalet on 1630 Colorado Blvd. It seemed to be a very casual neighborhood bar. The set-up is made to look like a ski lodge with plenty of comfotable and cozy seats.
Day 4 - Thursday March 27, 2008
Day 5 - Friday March 28, 2008
On Friday we spent the whole day at Disneyland. It was charming and fun, as always. We had a great time and were able to go on several rides. I definitely recommend getting familiar with the FastPass. This allows you to go on the most popular rides without having to wait in line as long. Since we were only going for one day we didn't go to California Adventure Park. It was definitely a great way to end the trip to L.A.!
