Sunday was so fun!
I had wanted to go down the peninsula and see my friend Nancy's Open Studio... even if it was just us popping in for a bit to say hello. I know her from my days at Care2, and she has had a few of these that I haven't made it to yet, so I wanted to go down and support her.ROADTRIP!!
We got up & ate a TASTY breakfast at East Coast West Deli on Polk. OH. MY. GAWD. You HAVE to go get their breakfast, because the home fries are to die for!!!! Seriously the BEST I've ever had in my LIFE!! I was looking around at other people's plates and I couldn't even believe some people had left a few behind - are they crazy!?!? They were the best. I can't wait to have them again!
Ok, so then we hit the road... 280 is beautiful with lush trees and mountains most all the way down to Sunnyvale. And of course, we've got a mean music selection for road trips :)
We popped into Nancy's studio and chatted it up with her & her studio mate, Photographer Susan Prather.
Then we headed over to a friend of Ricks who just bought a new house a few months back, and they're expecting twins!! wowie!! And he's a gadget feign (like us) and he knocked our socks off with his sick speakers, total THX theatre set up!! WOW!
Then Rick & I went & played mini-golf!! woohoo!! 18 holes, and quite possibly the best mini-golf I've ever played. Besides those cursid little volcano type holes, those'll rack up the points every time!! In the end we were close, but then Ricky pulled off a Hole in 1 on the last (and most incredibly difficult hole EVER)!!! I tried and tried, but since it was so hard there was quite a bottleneck when we got there - and after a few embarrassing attempts and knowing Rick had already kicked my butt, I swallowed my pride and gave up. Let's hear it for quitters!! Hey, atleast I did really good the rest of the game!
ARCADE TIME! We're huge fans of the air hockey... and fairly well matched at this game, Rick & I... it's a heated game. He gets a point and BLAM! I'm right behind him... 1-1... then 2-1, then 2-2... I keep catchin up - but he is pretty good :) I love air hockey!!
So then we look around for another game and GET THIS: There's an arcade game to play the drums! woohoo!! This kid is on it and he's kickin butt. He's even doin the crossed arm thing with the snare and the tom-tom. Nice!
So we get on - and it was so fuN! It's a game from Japan, so all the songs are in japanese, which is funny.. but I think I did pretty good! woohoo! Drumming career, here I come :p
We were hoping we'd build up an appetite for Chef Chu's Chinese (wow, nice site, chef chu!) and we did!! By that time we were nice & hungry and headed over for some tasty chinese food. It's apparently always packed there, and this being Mother's Day didn't change that. But it was well worth the wait. Hot & Sour Soup for starters, and then Candied Pecans with Prawns & Kung Pao Chicken - yummm!!!
