drum roll...photos have been uploaded! yay!

for me, being "spontaneous" means deciding at the beginning of the month to go on a trip at the end of the month, so to purchase plane tickets on monday night for a friday flight sounds like utter lunacy. but i did it anyway :)

had great flights out there. landed in atlanta in time to walk...nay, saunter...to my next gate and walk onto the plane. yes! sat right in the very center of the plane and watched comedy central and kept my elbows to myself (which is better than either of my neighbors). apparently, i'm still getting to know my luggage because it went round the carousel two or three times before i recognized it...sigh. anne asked what it looked like and i told her it looked like everyone else's, but mine has a green tag. oh like that one? no...oh yes. hahahahahahaha

so here's a quick rundown. i'll save the ridiculous jokes and funnies and just stick to the basics...

friday:

• target to get a camera...because i left mine at home *gasp*
• lunch at a japanese restaurant...luckily they took pity on me and brought me a fork
• steinhart aquarium
• stopped at ikea for snacks and coffee and oh look there's cool stuff too
• i wish i could remember dinner...but by then the dramamine/jet lag combo was really kicking me hard...burgers? this place i think...
• bittersweet for dessert...latte and cinnamon chocolate coffee cake? hit me

saturday:

• dailey method...we did childcare and then walked to get drinks and then took the class...wow! i wish it was offered here
• lunch at home
• manicure and pedicure
• coffee at fellini
• luis picked us up and we went back to ikea to measure things (i bought a blanket for the plane), shopping at h&m (he talked me into the obnoxious blue dress), and dinner at pf changs (the waiter had a crush on anne and bought her dessert)
• don't know why though because then we went to the whole foods bakery and stocked up

sunday:

• anne made breakfast :)
• touristy stuff at the pier
• haight street
• san jose to pick up the fluidity bar that anne bought through craigslist
• fremont to see her new house...yippee! the copa copa cabana house is super great
• back to berkeley for dinner...stopped by games of berkeley and poked around. found the greatest ever magic eight ball...ever. jupiter pizza for dinner and why not throw in some bluegrass? yes, please.

monday morning i had a 5:40 flight so we didn't do much but stumble out to the car. sigh...what a great break! when i got home, i was tired to be sure, but still refreshed. kids are the same (kaely had to get one of those moonwalk boots for her ankle, but nothing is broken), work still stinks like yesterday's diapers, my life is still the same...but i sure do feel better :)
