It was a busy week and a half while I was on the mainland! I spent 17 hours in San Francisco on Thursday, and managed to make it to happy hour, find a dress to pack for the wedding, and get on the second red eye in 2 nights – off to Pittsburgh.
We than had a great time catching up with the Pittsburgh crew at Brett and Amy’s wedding. A very nice ceremony and a really fun reception.
After cooking Lucy a Mothers’ Day brunch, we flew back to SF. The week in SF was lots of meetings, unpacking, catching up with San Francisco friends, and purchasing and building Ikea furniture. There was a heat wave in the Bay Area – it was even *hot* in San Francisco! Thursday we went to Taylor’s for happy hour, and in the same seats where we’re always wishing the sun would peak out between the buildings, we were instead wishing it would go behind the buildings. We were there until after 9, and it was still plenty warm enough for a skirt and a short-sleeved shirt.
Then, on Sunday, my favorite holiday: Bay to Breakers! We joined my friend Carl’s group, with a Kentucky Derby theme. Nicole and I were rich fans in the big hats, Scott was the horse vet, Eric and Aaron were also wealthy fans. The float had 6 gates, and Carl and a bunch of the guys were jockeys, with horse heads on sticks. We had a trumpet player, a pace rabbit, and assorted other Derby-appropriate folks. Inside the cart were 2 regular kegs and 2 pony kegs.
We got on the KRON4 live news coverage as we crossed the starting line! (The people running at the front had already finished, as referenced by the anchors.)
