Apparently Lisa gets to be offended, even when my post isn’t about my weekend.
I love long weekends. I left for Santa Rosa on Thursday afternoon so that I could get there early enough to watch the fireworks. This was probably the most planned part of my weekend. Fireworks are nice, but nothing would ever trump the fireworks in Pittsburgh, so really this holiday is all about friends and bbqs.
On Friday Lisa and Lam came out. Lisa’s birthday weekend celebration began! Our day was spent running small errands here and there, listening to music, drinking champagne and wine, eating good food, and just generally enjoying each other’s company. Quite a nice way to pass the time. Saturday the kids went hiking and Winemonkey and I did a couple of tastings out at the winery then went to his mom’s birthday bbq. We sure do know a lot of people born the first week of July. Afterwards we met back up with Lisa and Lam and went to a tired, allbeit nice, dinner at the Underwood. I had been feeling all kinds of under the weather this past weekend and the kids were tired from their hike. The Underwood had no roasted beets (because someone didn’t do their job) and the tuna tartar was off the menu. But I enjoyed my meal none-the-less and especially enjoyed the company.
Sunday we had Lisa’s favorite breakfast… french toast… yummified by Winemonkey and his test kitchen recipe… then parted ways and I finished laundry before heading back to the hell that is Sacramento.
Seriously.
It is 9 pm and STILL 90 freaking degrees outside. Can I click my heels three times and end up at the ocean??!?
So ultimately – HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA! I had a great weekend with you and your fiance.
