Hope you all had a very enjoyable long weekend. Except for Mom, where they are all long weekends. The King and I went to Carnaval on Saturday, which is the Latin version of Mardi Gras. There were lots of great food and many booths full of Hispanic themed items. Sunday we got up early and went to Walnut Creek to Heather Farms for a picnic with some of the King's friends and co-workers. Did I mention that prior to leaving the house, "Houston" we have a problem. We had fully loaded up the Mercedes and were pulling out of the driveway when something didn't feel right. The left rear tire was flat. So we unloaded everything in the car so that we could change the flat. Unfortunately, the King did not get all of the manuals for her car and it took us a while to figure out how to get to the spare and what
we had was in German. After a while we were able to get the little doughnut tire on the car and back into the garage and load the Lexus for the trip across the bay. The picnic was held at Heather Farms which is a real nice Park over in Walnut Creek. They had a large playground for the kids as well as an Olympic sized swimming pool. The kids went swimming later in the afternoon and had a good time. Then on Monday we arose once again early for another trip across the Bay, this time to pick cherries. We went to Brentwood with some friends and their parents to pick cherries. You can basically go to Brentwood and pick anything you desire. The have apricots, strawberries and cherries in season now with peaches coming soon. After a few hours of picking and eating cherries we went back to their house and went out for Sushi. It was a very busy weekend, which was fun, but I felt like it was gone too fast. On another note, we were awful glad to hear that the exploits of the Passport turned out well. We were glued to our computers in anticipation of what was going to happen. I hope the girls are enjoying their trip, because I know Greg was stressing about it.
