Another Fun Weekend!

Friday

I packed a picnic lunch and met Will down at the harbor at Jack London Square. It is such a beautiful area! We have been discovering many amazing areas to have picnics.

Saturday

Saturday was a day of taking care of business and relaxing around the pool. There we met two new friends who just moved here from NY! We had an impromptu dinner party and enjoyed spending hours around the kitchen table chatting.

If ever you don't see an update from us, this is probably what we are doing : )

Sunday

We decided to go explore the neighborhood next to ours, Piedmont.  We had a delicious brunch at Park Avenue Bar and Grill. (Though there are no streets named Park Ave nearby, so we're not sure where the name came from!)

After brunch we stopped in at a wine shop across the street and did a wine tasting of some fabulous German wines.  We walked down the street and got some coffee, then walked around the neighborhood a bit.  We hopped back in the Jetta and went for a drive! As we were tooling around town, we stumbled upon the main entrance of the rose garden that I had discovered a couple weeks ago. Turns out this rose garden has species of roses that can now only be found in this garden! It is also considered to be one of the top ten most important rose gardens in the country. Speaking of picnics, we will definitely be back for one here!

While driving we stumbled upon a few open houses. We went into two. One of which was perfect but way too expensive, and the other was the perfect location (down the street from our apartment) but too small! Oh well, maybe someday . . .

Later Sunday night Will went golfing with the CEO and CFO of his company. He got some great pics while he was there and on his way home!

Goats for keeping the grass cut!

It was quite a fun filled weekend!
