Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving with friends in Santa Cruz. After celebrating on Thursday we drove to Santa Barbara with David and Marta for the weekend. It was a fantastic time, and it was great to see our friends and more of the beautiful California coast.

Strange, how different it was from our last Thanksgiving.

Quick visits

One of the fun things about living in the Bay Area is that we've had a lot of friends pass through town for a variety of reasons. Thus, we've had a serious of "quick visits" where we get to see a friend as a bonus on their business trip. Recently we've seen Jessie, Megan and this weekend we hung out with Julia.

Julia was in town for a class, we met her downtown and went to a tea shop in Chinatown where Julia decided to "rub" a tea leaf in our tea sommelier's hand, instead of grabbing it, like he asked. It was funnier than it sounds.



We then had a fantastic meal at a Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown before heading back to Mountain View.

San Diego Fun

We took advantage of United Airlines reduced mileage awards for a quick trip to San Diego.  We went to the zoo, and the wild animal park and the beach.  We decided we need more three day weekends.
