Weekend in the Bay Area

This past weekend Aaron and I were in the San Francisco bay area visiting a couple of good friends. We started our visit with two nights with Rafunzel and Lisa in the city. They have an awesome place right in the heart of things and we spent most of our time together walking around the city shopping, eating and laughing.

Lunch was a 'must' at Hooters near Fisherman's Wharf. Yes, we passed up the traditional clam chowder in a bread bowl, but it was in an effort to take a small trip down memory lane. In Aaron's first glimpse of me on my Friendster.com profile (it's a pre-MySpace social networking site) I was eating a chicken wing at Hooters with Funzel. We figured that it was about time for us to all officially commemorate the role that Hooters has in our relationship. Now we don't ever actually have to go there again. :)

Saturday morning we headed down the peninsula to attend a friend's father's memorial and then to see Aaron's best man Jason, his wife Andrea, and their son Eric. Saturday evening we checked out Main Street in Los Gatos with a very important stop at the local candy store. Sunday morning after grabbing bagels we all went to the San Jose Tech Museum. Aaron and Jason may have had even more fun playin with all of the gadgets and displays than little Eric!

Two long weekends away in a row (whew) is exhausting, but very much worth it.

Is Aaron still collecting Hooter's menus?

And you didn't stage a photo retake?

Aaron said...

I'm not collecting them anymore, but I believe it ended with menus from 8 states and 3 countries.

And we didn't stage a photo in the Hooters because there were no people with a mullet, a key component of the original. :)

Ahhhhh!!!! Come back!!!!! Oh wait.... my turn to come visit and meet Alex. Had a great time with you guys! Next time we should do actual tourist things... although Hooters is definitely an important tourist attraction in ANY major metropolitan city.

I thought Jason's son was young. I feel like he was a newbron when you guys got married. Maybe I'm just living in my own little world!
