BOA Santa Monica CA

August is filled with many birthdays and I am extremely lucky my friends love to eat super yummy food! For my friend Gia's 30th birthday, we all surprised her at BOA in Santa Monica for dinner.  It had been a long time since so all of our girlfriends (or I should say most.. we were still missing a few gals) have gotten together and had a nice dinner together.  So we used Gia's birthday as an excuse to get dressed up and go out to a fancy dinner! My friend suggested BOA and set up a prefix meal with the restaurant to make things easier.  The ambiance was chic and modern, pretty typical for the Santa Monica/Los Angeles area.  The food was tasty but what made the entire experience uber fantastic was spending time with amazing my amazing girlfriends and our David.  I am a very very lucky girl to have amazing family and friends.
