I just spent 5 days down in the Bay Area, and looking back it's crazy how much I packed in while I was there. Aside from spending 5 hours at the airport, I had a fantastic time visiting friends, family and the boy (I was eager to leave, so I got to the airport 3 hours in advance, only to find my flight 2 hrs delayed). I ended up in the Bay Area close to midnight on Thursday.

Friday
- Met up with Tiff, and went out to Burlingame to eat at the Copenhagen Bakery. Also did some shopping on the main street.
- Realized we were less than a mile from the grocery store that Jason was at - so stopped by and visited the Tillamook Loaf Love Tour for a bit. (Hooked Tiffany up with cheese)
- Dinner at Korean BBQ - AMAZING. You know it's legit Korean food, when they don't even give you a fork.
- Dessert in San Mateo at Beard Papas. Tried the cheescake sticks, mini cream puffs and a fondant au chocolat (not all in the same night, thankfully)
- Visited Nithin and Arti in San Mateo. We were actually their very first visitors - they didn't even know how to buzz us in! (Hooked Nithin up with cheese)
- Took the BART out to Sunnyvale and visited Tanya, Rudre, Ronav, Arjun, Ani Aunty and Prakash Th.
- Met up with Pradeep Uncle, and Purnima Aunty in Palo Alto. Also ran into Anna and Marguerite.
- Visited the Loaf Love Tour in Mountain View. (Hooked more of the family up with cheese :)
- Headed into San Francisco, ate at the King of Thai restaurant and watched the Oregon ducks game.
- Stopped in at the pizza place around the corner from the Courtyard San Bruno for a midnight slice.
Sunday
- Went for a 4.5 mile run which Jason was not very happy about
- Checked in to the Hilton Union Square. Our room was on the 44th floor with an amazing view
- Walked out to Fisherman's Wharf and had a Boudin Clam Chowder bread bowl with a glass of white wine
- Dropped in to Buena Vista Cafe for an Irish Coffee
- Headed out to Cobbs Comedy Club for a comedy show
- Landed up at Bar None for the rest of the night and met up with a variety of people (Oregon ducks game fellows, Jason's coworkers, Shastri family)
- Went to breakfast with Jenn and her family at the Mission Beach Cafe. We got lucky with a table. after only waiting some 20mins. When we left the restaurant, there was a mob outside and the wait was probably at 1.5 hours.
- Oakland A's game, thanks to Yatin for hooking up 6 tickets! Cooked out in the heat, while watching the Oakland A's suck it up loosing something like 9-2.
- Dinner at Prashant and Amrita's with Yatin and Seema. We also sampled It's It Icecream Sandwiches - A San Francisco treat!
