Hola, amigas! (or -os? Probably not too many...) I have just returned from a weekend of over indulgance -- eating too much, drinking too much, and not moving my body enough. It was a blast though, as a very dear old friend and her boyfriend came up from L.A. to see us and the sights of NorCal before we move along in a few weeks. It was a lot of fun playing tourist one last time before we leave, eating at our favorite restaurants in San Francisco and watching the fog roll over the Golden Gate Bridge and across the city. I haven't taken any pictures off my camera yet, but here are a few I snapped with my phone that sum up the weekend pretty well:
(From L-->R, T-->B)
Grapes in the vineyard> Tasting sparkling wines at Mumm Napa> Dahlias in bloom in Golden Gate park> Beautiful wire sculptures at the De Young Museum> Sweets and treats at Bouchon> Delicious fresh watermelon cocktails at Urban Tavern
I'm ready to resume my regular life and schedule, but alas, that is not to be this week (probably not for many weeks, unfortunately). We're leaving this afternoon to go up to Seattle to look for an apartment! Eek. I can't believe it's time to finally make this whole move thing a reality. I really hope we're able to find a place that we love in a neighborhood we like. We've always had good apartment karma though, so hopefully it holds up this time around. I've just never had to go to a new city that I've never even visited and had to view, decide on, apply for, and get an apartment within the span of a few days. So, yeah, a bit nerve-wracking, but I'm hoping for the best. And I'll definitely keep you all posted! I'm working this afternoon on putting together a few posts to keep this baby afloat while I'm away, but I might be a little quiet with comments and whatnot. We're driving to Mt. Shasta this afternoon and camping there and doing some hiking tomorrow morning, then driving the rest of the way. I'll be sure to get lots of pictures to share here when we get back! Keep your fingers crossed for us that we find a nice place...! :/
