Mike got us tickets to the Lakers season opener basketball game! I was so excited to actually be there, watching them play at home! We got down there 2 days before the game so we got to go to the Santa Monica Pier and ate at the restaurant there called Mariasol. The next day we went to Venice beach, walked down the boardwalk and swam in the ocean! It was so nice and sunny there, a little cool at night but perfect weather! The next day was game day, we got ready early and headed to the staples center so we could get parking and eat. We decided to eat at the ESPN restaurant across from the staples center and also the nokia theater, which just so happened to be playing the premier of Michael Jackson movie This is it! They had a sort of red carpet thing set up, cameras, playing all his songs! I was excited to see what celebs would show up! It was so busy tho, we ended up leaving to eat at a different place. As we arrived at the staples center to wait in line, we got to watch the big screen across the street showing the celebs show up, I noticed Jennifer Love Hewitt, and guy from American Idol, not really top of the list, but it was cool to almost be right there!
Doors opened and we headed in, I was on a mission to find a purple jersey, but ended up with a zip up jacket instead, but its cute and I was all geared up and ready to cheer! (oh and also my toe nails and finger nails were painted purple and gold, and i was wearing yellow shoes and accessories!)
the game was awesome, we won by almost 10 pts! Afterwards Mike noticed the guitarist for the band tool and him and his friends got a picture with him, wish I would have seen the Kardashians! haha I did notice Jack Nicholson and Heather Locklear in the crowd, and sadly no.. I did not get to lick any Kobe sweat. It was a fun trip, cant wait to go back, going home to snow was no fun!
Here's a few pics from the trip.

If the Lakers keep the opponent under 100 pts they give you coupons for free tacos and jack in the box!... I was too busy in the store to get one ;(
