Weekend at the Bay

Well, I am super behind on blogging, as always. But, I am going to try to be better at keeping up! So about two weeks ago Kate, Carolyn (Grandma), and I went to the bay area to visit Brett instead of having him come to visit us. We really had a blast. We drove up Friday and picked up Brett at his office in San Francisco. From there we went to Ghirardelli Square and had icecream sundaes. They were delicious! Kate thought so, too. Even though we tried to keep them from her, her little hands are quick and she managed to swipe a bite. Then we went and walked around fisherman's wharf for a while before having dinner at Boudin's (yes, that's right, we had dessert before dinner). We had a view of the bay while we dined and it was fabulous! Kate even made friends with the people at the next table.

On Saturday we got up and drove to Los Altos for a work BBQ with Ernst & Young. It was good to meet some of the other interns and employees; I really felt like our family would fit in if Brett ends up working there full time. After the BBQ we drove to Pescadero. We went to a little shop that sold this amazing garlic artichoke bread. That's what we had for lunch. And dinner. Then we took Kate for her first trip to the beach! It was a little pebble beach, and it was very cloudy so it wasn't your typical "beach" experience, but Kate was just all smiles the whole time. Of course, when is she not all smiles?

After the beach we left Kate with Grandma to babysit and Brett and I saw the last Harry Potter movie. It was a perfect weekend. Unfortunately, it ended with Kate getting a little fever, but she recovered quickly and is back to being her happy self.
