Grandmother's visit

It's been a fun time. Mom2 (aka Grams aka Grandma Joan) arrived on Wednesday January 6, and will leave on Tuesday January 12. Time zooms! Here's an abridged list of what we've done:

Wednesday: airport pickup, kicking back at home. Mom2 went to bed around 5pm!

Thursday: Mom2 spent part of the day at the new Steinhart (Academy of Science). Julien and DOJ picked her up and then did some errands in the Sunset. Mom2 was ti-ti and went to bed early while Julien, DOJ, and MOJ went to Moki's for an early sushi dinner.

Friday: Kicking back at home in the morning, then a short walk and luncheon at the Warming Hut by Crissy Field while MOJ has a meeting. There was also a walk on Chestnut Street. For supper, DOJ's family (the other grandparents with Uncle Justin & Aunt Chloe) came over for a crab and Caesar salad dinner.

Saturday: Julien and DOJ went to Martha Bros on Cortland to meet Jennifer and Dash, as well as exchange a few diapers (to test out other brands). Fun meet-up! Then, we all went to Arlequin for lunch. MOJ had a Pilates session and during that hour, there was a whirlwind of activity. We drove to pick up milk from a new donor in the Marina. Then Julien, DOJ, and Mom2 strolled and window-shopped on Union Street. Right before fetching MOJ, DOJ had this crazy idea to go to the newstand on Jackson by Fillmore to get the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Record Collector... then it was off to Vega on Cortland for dinner with Jennifer and Veronica. It was our first time to see them since mid-December!

Sunday: Drive to Palo Alto to look at rugs, but first luncheon with old family friend Billy Bond and 2 of his 3 children. Fun! Luncheon at The Creamery in Stanford Dubai, then DOJ and Julien strolled on University Avenue.

Monday (aka today): After morning nap, we went to La Boulange in Noe Valley. yummy! Julien got to get his hands on different objects and make lotsa sounds, creating slight alarm with MOJ whil DOJ reminded everyone that we were at La Boulange, and not Taillevent, or not even Paul! Ha!
