Weekend Recap

We had a great weekend! It went by all too fast but it was nice to have time together and just be together as a family again!

We kicked of Friday by having Subway for dinner and then going for a quick dip in the pool. It's been very hot up here! Between 95 and 100 each day. The heat is different up here because it is dry. Which I SO prefer overy humid heat! After the swim, we came back to our room. Casey went to bed and Mommy and Daddy enjoyed a cocktail and watched the movie Step Brothers. Neither of us were impressed with it but both are going to give it another shot at some point.

Saturday we had plans to go to the local swap meet with one of Erik's co-workers. It was comparable to the Goldenwest Swap meet but worse. It was like one big garage sale with alot of items that I would never consider purchasing from a swap meet. But, apparently I was the minority in this way of thinking. Then his co-worker and girlfriend treated us to a yummy Chinese food lunch. I swear, they have chinese food DOWN up here. It is so authentic, fresh and delicious!!! Yum. Then we were all exhausted, came back to our hotel room and pretty much relaxed the rest of the evening. We considered going to the drive in because we haven't been to a drive in, in ages. But both of us were too tired and just didn't feel like it. So, we'll save that for another time.

Sunday morning we got up and got ready for lunch with my Cousin Rick and his wife Yvette. We went to the Pyramid Alehouse in Walnut Creek. I broke my no beer policy to have a beer at this place because... well I just had too! It was after all the Pyramid Ale House. We had a great time visiting for 2 or more hours, great food too. Then we came back, got our bathing suits on and went down to the pool. Erik and Casey went swimming but there was just TOO big of an audience for my comfort level so I just sat back and enjoyed watching them. :) There were 2 big groups of guys out there, one from Canada and one group from Texas coming out to work at the local refineries. They were having LOTS OF FUN and we enjoyed watching them. It was pure comedy. Something about when a bunch of guys get away from their wives and kids, makes them act a little crazy. Probably a little similar to when my Dad goes on his Vegas trips with his Pirate buddies! HA HA.

Yesterday was a low key day. Casey and I went on a walk. She was a tired girl yesterday as she had a rough night sleep the night before. Then Erik had a meeting at 6 about his new insurance. We are both doing the happy dance because it is going down by OVER HALF of what it was before! Yay!

C and I will be heading home Thursday morning. Hope everyone is well!
