It was another great weekend. But, it was a bittersweet. For, it marked my return to work after being off all of last week.
Thursday and Friday I spent time with Anne in Monterey, CA. She was attending the CAM Conference. I was able to attend the Thursday evening event at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and at 800 Cannery Row, Ed Ricketts House tour. It was great to be at the Aquarium during the evening. It was a different experience. The Aquarium Staff were great hosts. Pictures HERE
Friday was filled with driving around Carmel and hanging around on the beach. Being so close to the beach in San Francisco you would think that we would hang out on the beach all the time. But, even the short drive South to Monterey, the beaches were completely different. You wanted to be on the beach down there which is not how I feel when I am up in the San Francisco. Even with the great day that it was we couldn't escape the fog. While sitting on the beach we were watching from the ocean consume the outer lands and us all in a matter of 30 minutes. It was really cool to watch.
Saturday evening was the regular Dice Game up in Sacramento. It was good to meet new people. And the shocker of all shockers is that I took first place!!!
Sunday was the SF Ballet. Anne and I took in the matinee performance of the SF Ballet Company mixed repertory performance. We went because of they were performing Rodeo. The first two acts were great too. We sat the $10 high attitude seats, but you know they were great. We saw most of the action and heard all the music. I would definitely do that again. It is can be hard to find reasonable prices for events in San Francisco. It was a nice treat to be able to attend a great performance at a great price.
After the Ballet we headed in the rain to Zuni Cafe. A good place to eat. On the pricey side and you will have to wait, but good food. Anne would suggest to sit on the upper level in the "walk way" bridge area. You can get a good view of the prep kitchen. You will know how every thing is prepped and when your order is coming.
Another weekend in the books.
