Road trip of variable length - mansion edition

So we got to go to the home of one of our minority owners last night.

Wow.

It was pretty amazing. Definitely worth more money than I'll ever see in my life. Very glad I got to go.

It was located up in Bel Air, so we drove through Westwood and past UCLA on the way. Gorgeous, gorgeous area. Why didn't I consider UCLA again? But I was saying as we drove that I wouldn't be too interested in the homes right on the main drive, because they were all very close to the street and some pretty major traffic.

The house we were visiting was nothing like that. On a small side street, with the security and the private driveway you would expect. We were welcomed and proceeded to mill around on the terrace, marveling just a bit at a splendor none of us will know. The guys played some soccer with the kids on hand and even threw an American football around - nice arm from our Mexican player, surprisingly.

We had a very nice, buffet-style dinner, and then just hung out for a while watching Monday Night Football. The house had some sweet interior cameras that allowed you to watch other rooms in the house. So when guys went to the game room, we could watch them. Even gave them a big surprise by using the loudspeaker to comment on the ping-pong game! I, of course, got lost while trying to find the game room. Quite a place.

Anyway, that's the low-down. A great way to get away and relax with the playoffs starting on Thursday.
