The Weekend

On Saturday Mommy and Daddy dropped me off at Mary and David Barrett's in North Bend so that Mary and David could score some Ella time and so that Mommy and Daddy could have a date weekend. I don't know about you, but I always love going to the plush confines of the Barrett's to hang out with some good and loving peeps. All of their Grandson Gabriel's cool toys don't negatively impact things either.

Mary and David recently got a new puppy named Lexi that I think is some kind of Shiitzu. I'm notoriously sketchy around dogs but finally warmed up to her by the end of Sunday. She is so cute and we even got to give her a bath.

Extremely pooped on the way back from North Bend.


Mommy and Daddy took full advantage of their free time and casually notched a few things into their bedpost:

Saturday

• Trader Vics - Rum drinks, sharing a kobe burger and edamame


• Starbucks/Hear Music - Bought two cool remix CDs of Nina Simone and Motown artists


• lululemon - Scoped out some new exercise and casual wear


• Eyes on Fremont - New specs for the bespectacled one


• Theo Choclate - Stopped by the factory and got the 411 to go with their confections


• Brouwer's Cafe - A couple of beers and some pomme frites in the uber cool Fremont spot


• Lynwood Honda - Checked out a couple of phat Honda rides. Experienced the difference


• Norm's Eatery - Exercised a gift coupon and gnoshed curried chicken on couscous


• Chez Beel - Watched Flag's of Our Fathers while sipping boxed wine

Sunday

• Green Lake - Run the perimeter


• Starbucks - Lattes and breakfast sandwiches

And in fine fashion, we capped the weekend off with a nice visit from Nana and Papa. Papa kept me well entertained as we cooked upstairs in my kitchen while Nana and the parents sipped Champagne. Not bad at all.
