Sure enough, Sam comes to visit and it rains for three days straight. Then again, its been raining all week, but that doesn't mean I can't still be bummed.
However, there were periods where it wasn't too bad.
Friday afternoon, after dragging Sam around campus all afternoon, we took a beautiful drive up Page Mill into the Santa Cruz Mountains. I love being so close to nature! We stopped and took a hike in the Los Trancos Open Space Preseve. Sure it started raining half way through the hike, but we were in the woods so it wasn't too bad.
On Saturday, it wasn't raining much when we finished breakfast, so we decided it would be a great idea to go into San Francisco, get lunch at the Swan Oyster Depot, then head over to Chinatown for the New Years Festivities. Sure enough, it was raining pretty hard by the time we got into the city, so by the time we finished with our amazingly yummy lunch, we were not in any mood to get drenched even more. Instead of the Chinese New Years Parade, an evening of baking, steak, and movies.
And today, overcast all afternoon, which makes for perfect weather for shopping. Since I'm a modern bride, I had no qualms asking Sam to help me pick out shoes for the wedding, or for help with the veil. Thankfully, there was a Best Buy nearby so that Sam could redeem his manliness by ogling plasma screen TVs.
Unfortunately, the weekend went by too quickly and now Sam is back on a plane to the Big Apple. Only one more month until the quarter is over and I'm back there too.
