We stayed in Southern California this July to celebrate Jonathan’s birthday, celebrate San Diego Pride and see some fun theatrical performances. Here are some photos.

We celebrated Jonathan’s Birthday Weekend at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina Del Rey

The Amenities and Views were Excellent

We Were Within Walking Distance of Venice’s Charming Canals and Upscale Homes.

It was Good To See Support for Diversity On the Canals

We walked to the End of the Venice Beach Bridge

And Were Rewarded With Views of the Beach All the Way Up to Santa Monica

We Had Dinner and Drinks at Rocco’s, the New Bar In WEHO owned by Lance Bass

The Inside of Rocco’s

It Was Duck Season For Jonathan’s Birthday Dinner at Barrique Venice in Venice Beach

After Dinner Craft Cocktails at Roosterfish, Venice’s Only LGBT Bar.

Back in San Diego We Enjoyed Megan Hilty’s Jerry Herman Concert with the Symphony

For San Diego Pride In Addition to Attending Friend’s Parties and Watching the Parade We were Proud to Be a Sponsor of Urban Street Angels’ (“USA”) Pride Brunch at Bootlegger. USA is our Dedicated Charity and Does Wonderful and Much Needed Work with Homeless Youth in San Diego

The Brunch Had a Good Turn Out

And A Good Time Was Had By All Including Us, In Addition to Providing Support to USA.
