Browse Day: October 13, 2010

Food, Drinks, and Buttons

I attended my first Yelp Elite event on Monday and Jes was my +1.  The event was going to be just around the corner from home so it was a good one to RSVP for and luckily I got in!

So after work, we walked to the restaurant and had a fun time eating, drinking, taking photobooth photos, and people-watching.  I was a little worried about what kind of people I’d have to be in the same room with but it turned out to be a pretty big venue and everyone was just doing their own thang.

I also managed to collect an array of miniature buttons that were sprinkled on all the tables.  I heart free food and drinks with a little shwag on top.

Take Two

Due to the events of Saturday afternoon, we watched the Blue Angels on Sunday instead.  With the Giants playing on Thursday and Friday and sailors partying in the city, the streets were packed all weekend.  It’s always fun to watch the planes zooming over our heads and around the city and there’s nothing better than being able to just walk up stairs to the roof to watch the show. Yay!

It was also a gorgeous weekend with clear blue skies and warm temps.  Summer came really late this year.

Birthdays

On Saturday, I was on my way home from Safeway with a 6-pack of beer for our afternoon on the roof to watch the Blue Angels when I got a call from Ryan.  They were on Red Alert and I made a left turn to their house.  Jack was napping and Jes came over to keep me company.  Once Jack woke up, he wasn’t too surprised to see me and kept saying “Baby Sister in Mommy’s tummy”.  I guess they really prepped this guy for what to expect.

He happily played with his blocks and we watched Sesame Street together.  He had some juice and even used the potty before we headed out to dinner. We already had plans that evening so Ryan’s mom took the next shift.

That evening, Jes had planned a belated Birthday Dinner for me at Paragon.  He reserved the private room and had everyone join us.  Dayantha and Krissy drove down from Sacramento and Jen and Kevin drove up from Redwood City.  What a treat!  While we were having dinner, Ryan sent us a photo of Reese.  Woohoo!  If Saturday was my actual birthday, we’d be sharing the day!
