Our 2nd Valentine's Day together was a great one! My dad came up to visit for the weekend, and though I had to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We took some fun photography outings at night and even an all-day excursion on Monday (President's Day) to Half Moon Bay, Maverick's, and San Francisco. I love hanging out with my dad, and I think he and Mike had a lot of fun with their cameras gadgets. They are so much alike (they love technology).
But even with all the commotion going on, Mike still found time to get me roses. What a great guy!
My Dad made this super-yummy pizza while he was visiting us...Mmmmm! I didn't know my dad could cook anything besides grilling hamburgers on the grill, so this was a surprise!
And, of course, it's not a proper visit to the Bay without going to Palo Alto and eating at "Stacks," our favorite breakfast place. We like food...and taking pictures of it :)
Yes, this banana pancake filled up the entire plate...impossible to finish even one!
The newest addition to our kitchen is this awesome Blendtec blender. It blends anything! Seriously! My dad enjoyed the smoothies we made while he was here...it's only a matter of time before he buys one too...sorry Mom, but I think we convinced him :)
There's a show called "Will it Blend?" on Youtube all about the Blendtec.
It' was a little pricey, but we're already eating more healthy and including a lot more fruits and veggies in our diet because of this fun new gadget. It's also one of the reasons, we didn't go all out on gifts for V-day this year. We both love it! Come over for a shake or smoothie! It also makes great soups and ice cream...Amazing, I know!
So, I've been saving our old jeans to make a quilt. First, it was going to be for Mike's birthday (that was in May), then for Christmas (which came and went), and so now I guess it is a late V-day present 'cause I finally finished it! Hallelujah! That's one project I won't be doing again for a while...so tedious! I am pretty proud of the finished product, though.
