Labor Day Weekend 2012

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)

Saturday

• 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)

Monday

•  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!

Tuesday

• Flew back to Portland
