June started out with a road trip to the bay for a girls SF food tour, my godson's baptism and Carrie and Marv's baby shower...got a lot done in the few days we were there. Left Vegas early Thursday am and as soon as we got to SJ, got a hair cut, visit cousins, then hung out at Melissa's house while Jay had his dinner out with the guys
Friday was my turn, spent the whole day in SF from 9am - midnight :) First stop was Brenda's French Soul Food...our ghetto food tour as we called it was hosted by Christina...the best person in the city to give one...front parking at all of our stops while driving fast throughout the city as there was no time for stopping during the tour :)
first time I had shrimp & grits
beignet flight included crawfish, chocolate, apple and a plain beignet...I liked them all, probably the chocolate and apple together were the best :)
2nd stop, Dynamo Donut for their famous maple bacon donut, third one over below as well as the other different flavors listed above...interesting taste but I prefer a plain glazed donut :) I want to go back and taste the vanilla bean as I wasn't a fan of the spiced chocolate or chocolate rosemary almond
3rd stop Paulette's for french macaroons...so good I am still craving them...my favorite flavors are rose almond, coconut and caramel
we did take a break from eating to watch SATC2 at the Kabuki theatre, but then right after stopped for takeout at San Tung for their famous wings and dumplings...and spotted dessert a few stores down at Peasant Pies
we seriously got one of each kind
then for a quick break at Christina's to get ready for dinner at Roy's with the rest of the SCU gang...we were pretty much done with eating by then
SCU 10 yr reunion dinner, thanks to our elder Johannah for planning
stopped at a bar/lounge for a little but then called it a night...it was a long day
Saturday am was Christian's baptism
my Godson is a happy cutie pie with lots of dinner rolls :)
this was only one of the tables...can't expect anything less from the Tan family
loved his bible cake
then late afternoon we went to Marv and Carrie's baby shower in redwood city...Uncle Marv!
kids had so much fun playing
they needed a fan break with Uncle Ralph and Auntie Grace
then more play fighting with Auntie Amanda and Uncle Abe
Jayson got put into rest time so many times on the couch...getting into some serious conversation with Uncle Mark
present time was out on the deck
Lola Rose giving out m&m's for kisses
Congratulations Auntie Carrie, can't wait to meet your little girl!
From there we headed home, at about 9pm so I could catch my NYC flight at 11am the next morning...Crazy! Was sad to leave, wish we could have hung out with the family longer
Hawaiian theme
was such a beautiful, fun night

then more exploring at the harbor with Melissa

beautiful center pieces 
to go with this beautiful cake
one of the highlights was the karate dance performance given by the kids, it was so so good, a must see
what a great idea that after dancing there were snacks :)
we called it a night at about 1am in the morning, hung out and rested, but didn't want to sleep since I was heading to the airport at about 3:30am to catch my 5am flight to San Diego
Thanks Dave for driving me to the airport and Congrats Mark and Tania on the engagement...that will be the next wedding!
