Vanderpump Weekend

Leigh is turning 40. While she has great judgment in every other way, she has a soft spot for reality television and, in particular, a show called Vanderpump Rules (it's a spinoff of Real Housewives with Lisa Vanderpump). So, some of the mom's from our mother's group found ourselves on a pilgrimage to LA for a Vanderpump weekend.

 In the air with these ladies: Jen, Debbie, and Nicole.

We met up with the wonderful Leigh in LA.

Hiking up Runyon Canyon looking for stars. (We didn't see any.)

The Hollywood sign is back there.

Leigh is pointing to it.

Time for a light lunch at Greenblatt's Deli.

As a birthday present, I asked my friend Beth for a favor. She works on Real Housewives and I asked her if she would be willing to get me something from Lisa Vanderpump that would be a treat for superfan. She did better than that. She provided a video that may have made Leigh's head explode. This video includes the video that appeared on Leigh's phone and her reaction. It was a perfect start to our Vanderpump night out. If you are having trouble watching video you can click the direct YouTube link.

Our first stop for the Vanderpump night out. We are at PUMP.

Nicole and the birthday girl.

Fancy martinis to start the night.

The whole gang.

Now we are at Tom Tom where we were convinced to eat these flower buds that make your mouth go numb. It was weird. 

Having fun with the birthday girl.

This is some famous guy from the show.

Dinner at Sur.
