Dog and Car are back.
We spent a quick 48 hours in Cerritos this past weekend. Not only was it for the Kumquat Shower but our mission was also to pick up the dog and drive the car back up to SF. When we arrived in Cerritos on Friday night, Dog was super excited to see us after 3 weeks at The Magical House. On Saturday, I got up early enough to get some of my mommy’s waffles for breakfast. I also got to see what Koa had been up to the last three weeks.
Apparently there’s a cat that lives behind my dad’s fountain in the backyard and Koa has been on the hunt for him. He runs outside and goes snooping around the fountain and the rest of the backyard. It’s pretty cute. Unfortunately I didn’t see this phantom cat-cat.
Before the Kumquat Party, we went to the Cerritos Farmer’s Market where we picked up some cilantro roots and I got a big bag of Hula Pop.
I also found these kumquats. Aw…cute.
On Saturday night, Jes and I attended the Clarendon Foundation’s Annual Valentine’s Dance at the Omni Hotel in Downtown LA. It’s a fundraiser for a shelter/dormitory for girls in Sri Lanka. It’s run by Dayantha’s dad and Ti was in charge of the event this year. It was like a wedding with no couple to celebrate. Instead there was a silent auction, raffle, and a presentation including a Skype call to the girls at the house. Neato. 
For the event, I bought a little black dress and actually wore heels for the first time in many months. There was a cool water thingy outside of the hotel where Jes took my 31-week belly bump photo. Afterward, we met up with Brother and Joy for a midnight meal at Pacific Dining Car. They didn’t have the stone crab that Jes was craving but Jes had his baseball steak.
On Sunday, we got up at a decent time and said our goodbyes.
We left The Magical House around 10:00 am and somehow we managed to get home by 4:30 with a few pee stops and lunch at In-N-Out. So now life is back to normal with the car and dog at home where they should be. Yay!
