Santa Monica 2010

 Cirque Lodge's very own Gary Fisher was being honored for his, "Distinguished Service in the Treatment field"and it would have been an absolute shame to miss it ;)  So Mom, Mr. Ace, my brother Rich, his wife Star, and I all went down on Thursday to support him. 
I am not California's biggest fan but, I grew a greater appreciation for it this weekend.  I didn't realize how close we were to the Santa Monica pier but it was a fun site to see!  
Friday, we walked on the pier and shopped at the boulevard (hello H&M it has been so long!).  Saturday, Mr. Ace and I walked along the beach to Venice beach, shocking and totally sureal, ate at some great cafes, and relished in our one on one time together. Sunday, Dad flew in and we all headed to Malibu for the 5th annual polo in the palisades event. Polo in the palisade is a fundraising event that the Promises foundation puts on for Miriam's house.  Miriam's house is a refuge for indigent women and children.   It was a humbling event.  I was blown away with all of the people who came to support Gary and the foundation.  He is a very loved man and a deserving one ta boot.  He has given his life and continues to give to the recovering community.  
It was such an honor to be there! 
oh P.S. Guess who I met?  
Can you guess who the guy is in the last picture on the bottom left??  
One hint... walked on the moon (no joke!)
