Weekend Recap!

In my aforementioned post, we celebrated our anniversary this weekend by heading down to San Francisco. It's one of our favorite cities, and it's so close by. Wonderful for a weekend getaway. :)

Golden Gate Bridge

We started out in the Marina District and wandered around the cute shops and saw more dogs and Patagonia gear than I thought possible. Definitely the place I belong should I ever live in the city! Of course they had a doggie store, and we picked up a peanut butter bon bon for Tobers. He LOVED it!

I had been craving a cupcake for about a month, and was super excited to try out a bakery I heard so much about, Kara's Cupcakes. Kara did not disappoint. I had the peanut butter/chocolate and Mr. Awesome had the lemoney lemon. We shared of course and it was delicious!

Kara was on "Cupcake Wars!"

After walking around for a little more, we headed over to the Palace Hotel-gorgeous! (For Home Alone fans, this is the SF version!) We took the scenic route and tried to go down Lombard Street (Most Crooked Street in the World!) but that was a mistake. Literally cars were lined up for miles. Not that important to us!

For dinner, we went to this amazing Greek restaurant called Kokkari. To die for! We ordered two appetizers because we heard so many great things. We had the calamari stuffed with Greek cheese and zucchini cakes. Highly recommended! We also shared a bottle of the Pezzi King Cabernet and it was amazing. All in all a wonderful meal! 

Kokkari is in the Financial District

Then we headed to a bar that our friend from college bartends at. He is very passionate about mixology and created a secret menu for his regulars. I had a "1454" which all I know had strawberries and fresh basil in it. Delicious! He made a Schnoebsmash for Mr. Awesome, and had some sort of whiskey in it. I liked it obviously. If you live in the area, check out Savoy Tivoli and ask for Kyle with the 'stache. You won't be disappointed.

Sunday we slept in, had lunch and did some shopping. Wonderful way to spend our 1st Anniversary together! Cheers to marriage!

Weekend in Review

Yes, I realize it's Wednesday but I wanted to re-cap the amazing events that took place....

Friday night, we went to the Rivercats game to cheer on our favorite hot close AAA baseball team. We wanted to get the party started early (read cheaper than $8 a beer) so we decided to tailgate beforehand. BIG MISTAKE. Apparently Yolo county prohibits tailgaiting. I didn't even know that was a law? Well, now you know.

We finished up our beverages and headed in for $1 hot dog night! I of course had my pink claw ready to cheer on the team. It makes it diffucult to carry a hot dog and beer though. :) We ended up giving the claw to the little boy in front of us because he LOVED LOVED LOVED the thing and I couldn't bear taking it back from him. 

After that we headed over to a local sushi restaurant because Mr. Awesome's friends were there. Fun times. There were maraschino cherries, diet coke, tunnels, roofie colada's and male on male slow dancing going on. Fun way to end a Friday.

Saturday we went to brunch with the in-laws and ran a couple errands. Then we came home cleaned the house and I napped for a couple hours. Ahhhhh. We met up with some friends at our favorite Mexican place and enjoyed delicious margaritas! We decided against bowling or mini-golf, and ended up going to the Indian casino nearby that just recently expanded. 

 

We all agreed it would be a great idea to have a few drinks in the car beforehand. Again, we thought it would be cheaper. Yes, I realize we aren't 18 and don't need to do this anymore, but it sounded fun. Then we got a booth and proceeded to drink until 1:30am. Let's just say, tequila, champagne and vodka don't go so well together.

One of the most hilarious comments of the night was when two guys asked if my Asian friend, Jen was Party Pics! I almost died laughing. I mean, she does have a giant camera with a HUGE flash. I can see how one would be confused.

Needless to say, Sunday was spent relaxing at home. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!

Awesome Weekend!

I had an amazing weekend to say the least! Exhausted by the time Sunday evening came around {think 5 hour nap!!!}, but was so worth it.

Mr. Awesome and I met up with some friends at the Rivercats Game on Friday evening. Being the little kids we are, Mr. Awesome bought a batting helmet {for safety of course} and I got a pink claw. I of course opted for the pink, but notice the actual "official" color is maroon.

Saturday during the day, I hit the nail salon with  Bre then to the mall for some Mommy shopping. I may or may not have found these fabulous shoes as well!

Saturday evening I headed over to another friend's birthday dressed up for some horse racing! We looked fabulous and recieved many $1 wine "shots" paid for. Definitely will be going back!

On Sunday we had a Champagne Brunch with the Mom's, then headed to a chick flick. Their choice; The Back Up Plan. It was actually a lot funnier than I expected it to be.

Cheers to Motherhood!
