Visit with Ginny
Last weekend Ginny came to visit us in the bay area. Since we only have a 1 bedroom place, she stayed in a hotel right next door. It was great to have her so close by that we could giver her small taste of what our day-to-day is like in the south bay. She and Jesse did some touristy stuff up in San Francisco on Saturday. They visited Golden Gate park and the California Academy of sciences. Then we all went out for dinner at a great Indian restaurant in San Jose called Amber.
Sunday we went shopping at Lululemon (she spoiled us rotten!!!) and went on a short hike up to hunter’s point for the view. We were then joined by Ginny’s colleague Deb for dinner at a Steakhouse in San Jose. It was an extremely tasty meal, however, this most likely may have been Jesse’s last steak… EVER. (More on that to follow in a later post. :)
Monday, I got to accompany Ginny and Deb to their visit with alumni at Google in Mountainview. I accompanied them as the “photographer” and got to see first hand what the Google cafeteria is like and feel the vibe in there. It was great. After that we toured around Palo Alto and the beautiful Stanford campus. Monday night, Ginny came with me to my absolute most favourite Gentle Yoga class at Santana Row. We basked in relaxation.
Tuesday, Ginny and Deb had more meetings with alumni in Dublin, CA. In the afternoon, they accompanied Parker and I to the local dog park. This was definitely the highlight of the visit for Parker. Tuesday night, we got Ginny to ourselves for a quiet dinner at home. It was great to just hang out. We let her listen to some embarrassing tracks we laid down using the “I am T-Pain” iphone application. :)
It was a great time!!!
