San Francisco B-Day Weekend

I feel like i am never going to get caught up on my blogging.

How does that keep happening? I really want to be a better blogger but time does not seem to be on my side these days. I remember when I first started blogging AND I was able to get out and blog jog and even leave comments. These days I am lucky if I am able to get one post a week in.

Life will slow down a little...someday...right?

We went to my in laws B&B in San Rafael on my Birthday/Easter weekend.

We decided to jump on the ferry in Larkspur and sail over to San Francisco for Deem Sum at our favorite place.
I love Dim Sum.

I like the whole experience of the servers cruising around with carts filled with stream baskets of goodness.

I like not knowing exactly what you are getting or even what you are paying for. They just come around and ask "shrimp dumpling?" or whatever they are offering and you say yes and they put a little stamp on your ticket and leave you with the goodness...or you say no and wait for another cart to come by and offer something.

THEN you all eat until you are full and everyone guesses what the final total is and your father in law pays the $200 ticket and you say thank you and he says "Thank you, we love having Dim Sum with you guys!"

And the Dim Sum experience is complete. Perfection.

Then we walked around the Farmer's Market at the Ferry building and soaked up a little San Francisco goodness. I love the city.
And just because they make me laugh...Big Daddy and my father in law Jim...total goof balls...
On Sunday we had a lovely Easter lunch with Jim's family. It was great to see how every one's families are growing and spend a little time with that side of the family...I forgot to take pictures. Lame.

We drove home Sunday night in the eye of a horrible storm...a scary end to a really fun weekend.

$200 for dim sum? I don't think I've ever paid more than $70 (for 4 people not exactly being frugal)! And these are places in Boston, Hong Kong and NYC.

The pictures of you, J, and Fonz are great. You need to frame them.
and I really like your pink Ugs.

How much fun each of these pictures looks! I miss being in San Francisco and just being immersed in so much culture and the smell of all the great cooking going on by the sea. Here is hoping you had a wonderful birthday.
