Weekends

So, before DC and Palo Alto…there was a weekend. It seems like ages ago, but was very fun. On Friday night, I went out with the ladies from work and things got a little nuts. We hit up some of the hottest spots in SOMA. I woke up the next day feeling a little rough.…

What a nice long weekend! Gorgeous weather and plenty of lallygagging. On Friday, Rob and I rode with a bunch of friends in Critical Mass. This time, it followed a route through all the city’s beaches. We reached the ocean along with a few thousand other bikes just in time for sunset. From there, over…

This was a jam-packed, lovely weekend in the city! On Friday, we rode bikes across the city with Margaret to go to Friday Nights at the de Young. This time, they were kicking off the opening of the impressionist exhibit with a French prix fixe menu and a French/gypsy/klezmer band called Japonize Elephants. First, drinks…

Rob left this weekend for a very exciting ride – he was invited by a pro-bike team to participate ahead of the first three stages of Tour de California. So proud of him! But that meant he had to leave this weekend and he took the car with him. With it being blustery and my…

I had a pretty mellow weekend. Unusual for me, I know, it was prompted by strange weather and a looming business trip this week. I took it easy! On Friday, Margaret and I met after work for frozen yogurt and pedicures downtown. After our pampering, we walked across the street in our temporary flip-flops for…

I forgot my camera this weekend, so these photos are all from my cell. No bother – cell is the new Polaroid, right? I was under the weather on Friday, so we just stayed in with Margaret and ordered Chinese food. Up early the next morning to drive to Fresno. Rob’s dad was demoing solar…

After being away in DC for the week, I was exhausted this weekend. Nothing to report on Friday night except for napping, being glad to be home and heading to bed early. Rob left at the crack of dawn on Saturday for a big bike ride. I slept in for a bit and walked to…

This was a great weekend. A perfect chance to get away for a few days and relax. Rob and I hit the road early Wednesday. It took almost a whole day to get to Mammoth; you have to take the long way around since most of the passes over the sierras are closed in the…

A fairly relaxing weekend highlighted by gorgeous weather, who could ask for anything more? On Friday, Rob and I met a bunch of friends at the end of our favorite pier for a birthday picnic. I brought horseradish cheese, crackers, olives, tiny truffled potatoes and peanut butter cookies to accompany a few beers and our…

We were in Half Moon Bay for less-than-happy circumstances – a young family friend is having health problems. I’m not at liberty to say more, but my parents and sister spent the week at the hospital before coming out to the beach. Everyone was in need of a break. On Friday night, Rob and I…
