A Blur of a Weekend!

First weekend after the new job and it was a lot of fun, if short!

As mentioned in my previous post, we started off the weekend Friday night in San Francisco with the #CandlelightConcerts which was a great start!

Saturday we (the Mrs., the Kids and I) made our way to Downtown Los Gatos for their annual Wine Walk, which was much nicer than last year.  Primarily because it was less crowded and the missing patrons seemed to be from the douchebag and party tramp camps, so it was much more subdued and easy going, with perfect weather to boot!  We finished up our walk at a nice Asian noodle place on Santa Cruz Ave.  I can’t recall the name off-hand, but it was delicious and we’ll certainly be back for more!

After we and the Kids parted ways, the Mrs. and I had a “date night” and went to the foot spa for a little relaxation.   After all the miles I put on my feet during the week, this was a welcome respite!  Once sufficiently relaxed, we stopped off at the ice cream shop by our house and indulged is some hot fudge sundaes!  It was a darn near perfect day!

Sunday morning I went and picked up my Pops and we went down to Kelly Park in San Jose for the annual VW show.  My parents had the first VW I ever rode in (and would later drive) and a love for VWs is something my Pops and I have shared for decades.  Between us I believe we’ve owned 7 VWs over the years, just really great cars since forever!And I’m not sure I won’t own one again!

After the car show, I had to make a run to Felton, up in the Santa Cruz Mountains and ordinarily on a Sunday the traffic over the hill would be treacherous, but I somehow lucked out and zipped over there in about half an hour, again in perfect Spring weather!  If you’ve never been through the Santa Cruz Mountains,  I HIGHLY recommend it.  It is truly gorgeous out there!

Once I got back from the Felton errand, our daughter came over and we had a pizza and watched a really bizarr-o documentary.

And just like that – poof – the weekend was over!

Then I got to come back to beautiful Portola Valley to a great job! 

Feeling pretty good about now!

Thanks for stopping by!
