Saturday morning, Brandon and Dave headed out to baseball practice, but only for less than an hour. Peyton and I packed up to get ready for the weekend. When the boys got home, we headed up to my dad’s. Both kids asked if they’d stay there, and when we told them yes, they immediately asked, “Is Grandma going to be there?” Haha…papa gets no love. We stayed for an hour or so, then Dave said it was time to head out. We headed up to our hotel, but we made a stop for lunch. I wanted to go to a diner or something for brunch, but Dave was somehow following his nose and ended up at a food truck strop. Four trucks with regular food with a dessert/custard truck. Dave really wanted “bao”, and sure enough, ask and ye shall receive! He waited in line for that while I waited for a grilled brie cheese with apple slices and roasted almonds. We met in the middle and got our grub on. It was super yummy, but we were in a bit of a time constraint as we didn’t know how bad traffic would be. We went to the hotel to change quickly then headed out to the wedding. We hit a bit of traffic, but that let me nap a little bit. I was still coming off a cold, and I wanted to get some rest. We got to the wedding site with about 30 minutes to spare. We waited in the bar, and Dave got a glass of wine while we waited. It was warm out, so we decided to sit in the cool inside before heading out. The wedding started at 430 pm, so we left to go out around 415 pm. We saw some people from my work, and I introduced Dave to the girls. It seemed no one wanted to sit, but once there was a move to the chairs, we all went en masse. We tried to stay out of the sunny chairs, which was a bit difficult. Dave got us some waters and a fan, and we just waited. The ceremony started about 15 minutes late, but it was beautiful! After the short but sweet ceremony, Dave and I headed over to the winery/reception site. It was within walking, but we didn’t want to have to walk across the street again after the reception was over. There was plenty of street parking, so it wasn’t bad. The hors d’oeurves were a mashed potatoes bar with fixings. Dave had initially been a bit skeptical about a gluten free party, but he was happy to eat! He wanted a second one but saved his calories. We got to know our tablemates and talked up one of the husbands who owns at dojo. We told him we were considering signing up the kids to get more discipline in them, so it was an interesting conversation. Dinner was served, and it was buffet style. Flip flops were provided to the women, and I changed into them even though I had some in the car. At one point in the dinner, Roxy’s wedding coordinator came up to the table to ask for me. The whole table turned, while I waved. She provided me with a card. Roxy had gotten me a singing birthday card, and I was so touched! We’d talked about it being my birthday when she set up her wedding date. She apologized, but I told her it would help me remember her anniversary forever and ever!
We stayed until the music stopped, as Wendy grabbed me to dance, and I gave in and stayed there for awhile. Once I was up there, I had fun, while Dave just watched from our table. We left around 1130 pm, with a half-hour drive back to our hotel. I told Dave I wanted to sleep in and to not bother me. Dave wanted to go back to the wineries, but I wanted to eat brunch up there. At 830 am, Dave woke me up with an ipad in my face. “Ad hoc has reservations at 1030 am” was what he told me. I signed into open table and booked the reservation. But that meant, no sleeping in, and we had to get up and get ready right away. We checked out, and then headed out. We parked and arrived at the restaurant and parked. It was still early, so we headed to get pastries, but it was crowded. We didn’t want to wait, so we headed across to get coffee, then headed to our restaurant destination for dinner to take pictures. We headed back down the street and took pictures there, then entered. Even though it was early, they sat us. It was not crowded at all. We had a three-course + add on breakfast, family style. We were trying to pace ourselves and not get too full. It was still early, but still, we had a big dinner to get to. There was too much food at breakfast, but we did enjoy it all. I wanted to walk after, so we did a walk up and back, and according to the map, it was about 1.5 miles. It would’ve been 2 miles roundtrip had we started at the beginning of the trail. It was pretty warm! We spent some time walking around in the shops, and just sitting, waiting for the food to digest. I really wanted a nap, but I didn’t want to be a bum in the middle of the grass. Dave took us across town, and we headed to two wineries. Dave was trying to hold back, too, so he didn’t over-drink. I shopped while Dave drank. Eventually, my parents arrived, and then we walked around with them. Danielle and Scott came after that, while we were at one of the wineries letting my mom taste. We headed to the restaurant, where we found them. We took some more pictures of all of us. We didn’t wait long before we were seated. Our party was asked several times for “Robyn”, and I was put off by it. They all wished me happy birthday, and I got to start first. I was a bit embarrassed, as we were seated in the main table around a bunch of tables of two’s. Once more tables filled up, the conversation picked up, and I didn’t feel as fish-bowl-ish. Dinner started with the sun a little bit in my dad’s eyes, which the wait staff fixed right away. It ended with the dining room being VERY dark! We all had great conversation, had white and red wine, and ate just until we were full. I still tried all the desserts. ALL of the desserts. Macarons, birthday cake, mac nuts, milk and cookies ice cream, coffee, donuts, and a chocolate s’more chocolate truffle, and chocolate semi-freddo. We wrapped up around 915 pm, and then we headed back to SF. The kids were still up by 1030 pm, and I think my aunt was happy to hear us parking. She immediately opened the gate for us, and released the kids from their rooms. They were sharing a bed, and I knew that was the reason they were not asleep. They were happy to see us. We got them in the car, then headed home. Of course, in the car, Brandon fell asleep. Peyton stayed up a little longer than Brandon. She was trying to wake him, but when I turned around, she stopped bothering him. It was silent the rest of the way, while I stayed up with Dave. We got them in bed by 1130 pm, and I figured it would be rough for them on Monday. Dave and I unpacked the car, and we were asleep by 1230 am. This morning, I had to drag Peyton out of bed, while Brandon was up right at 645 am. I helped Peyton get ready for school, helping her change and brushing her hair. Then I left for work. I called CDC to check in with her, and she was doing well there, but she’d had a rough time in school today. I can’t say that I was surprised, with her lack of sleep. The teacher emailed me, and I forwarded it along to Dave. When I picked Peyton up, she started by saying, “I had a good day at CDC!” I told her to tell me about school. I also told her she’d be sleeping in her bed by 7 pm. Dave said the same thing when he got home. I had already had her bathe, before I’d given her dinner, then she practiced piano, and then read for 20 minutes. She has no computer time, including book time on the computer, so she’ll have to earn that back. We’ll try the incentivizing that we used for Brandon, with happy faces, meh faces, and sad faces for different time periods. She was sent to Ms. Song’s class today, and she didn’t even listen there! I asked if she listened to Ms. S, and she said, slowly, “Welllllll, not realllllyy…” We’re meeting with the teacher AND CDC this Friday. Joy. This is the last week of 3 hour days. next week, it’s the full day, until 230 pm. Geez…I hope something changes!
