The Sun Showed Up!

Happy Monday Friends!

The weather was certainly not behaving like it's summer time but we had a great weekend anyway! We packed up the car and headed to San Francisco to explore the city. We drove through the Presidio, took pictures at Fort Point, had lunch at Fisherman's Wharf, strolled the shops at Pier 39 and made a short stop at Golden Gate Park. The weather even accommodated us with an appearance by the sun!

Saturday night we went to the annual Tiki party at Al and Linda's house in Alameda. It was fun to see so many old friends and visit over TIki Chi-Chi's! Who would think we could have any more fun in one weekend? Well, we did! Sunday morning we went to Aunt Mary's Cafe in Oakland (featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.) where we had a sinful breakfast. We all agreed Mike's Pain Purdue, a special of baguette french toast (baked) with a whiskey cherry compote was the best! See for yourself!

Now it's time to head into a new week, summer school starts for me and Mason's school year is coming to and end. I've got some big projects on my horizon, but what else is new, huh? Thursday I'm having a minor knee surgery and then it will be time for another weekend. What's on your plate this week? Do you have any fun plans for summer vacation? I won Sea World and Disneyland tickets so I suspect the Partak Family will be making a trip south before school starts next year. Have a great week and I'll see you soon!
