Labor Day Evening At City Walk

For Labor Day, the crowds at Universal City Walk in Studio City weren't too bad tonight.

For something to do, Asya and I went to City Walk to wander around. This was Asya's first time visiting there and she enjoyed it very much.

We wandered around different stores after we arrived. Of particular interest to her were the Lush, Zen Zone and a Universal Studios souvenir stores that had Harry Potter goods.

At Zen Zone, she had a ten-minute aqua massage. She had done some hiking this weekend (and managed to come almost face-to-face with a rattlesnake that was rattling two feet away from her) and she was still sore. The aqua massage felt great, she said, although it left her dizzy for a few minutes.

Following our store browsing, we headed to the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restaurant. We had an enjoyable meal there (I had jambalaya for the first time in ages). We talked about the upcoming October 2 party at the Odyssey Restaurant.

Asya said that there are Cinnabon stores in Russia when we passed one. She also said there are Lush stores in Russia.

After dinner, we wandered around some more before heading back to L.A.

We had a good time and Asya is looking forward to visiting City Walk again.
