Weekends: Around Town

Rob and I started the weekend with a birthday celebration for our dear friend, Allison.  Her husband arranged for us to surprise her at Tradition downtown – where we enjoyed strong batches of “punch” in a private booth. 

From there, the group took private cars over to SOMA Streat Food where we got tickets for the food trucks and free skeeball.  A great night! 

On Saturday morning, Rob left for his usual bike ride and Margaret came over to work on plans for Jackie’s July wedding. We worked on the invitation design, bought a veil on Etsy and shopped for vases at the Wholesale Flower Mart:

From there, we drove over the bridge to Ikea for more wedding supplies. I just love it there! Spent time picking out a lamp for myself:

Rob beat me back home, just enough time to clean up before driving to Palo Alto to spend time with the baby and my parents. We were too busy coo-ing over the baby to take photos.

Lazy Sunday morning with the paper and tea in bed. The heatwave that lasted all week finally broke with a rainstorm that morning:

When it started to clear up, Rob and I walked downtown for some clothes shopping before our trip to the UK at the end of the month:

Major cleaning spree when we returned back home. Cleared out the closets, picked up the kitchen and admired the new Ikea lamp assembled in the den. Isn’t that a cozy nook!?
