weekend away

eli and i spent the weekend at orr hot springs

in ukiah

we left friday after work - so we got to catch a beautiful sunset on the drive up

they have several lodging options on site

we stayed in one of their yurts

love eli in short shorts

loved all their signage

we hiked around montgomery woods on sunday

stopped at this rad antique shop on the way home

+ stopped at foster's freeze for some waffle cut fries and a chocolate shake

friday.saturday.sunday

friday: bill cunningham documentary at the crest was fantastic

saturday: our yard sale happened

thanks to chesen for sending me this bloody mary mix, which i drank all morning long

sunday: easter at mom and dads

which included a mezza breakfast.  no better kind...

and some mimosa fueled photos taken in front of

mom and dad's rose bush...

 and way too much chocolate + sweets...

le weekend...

everyone was so eager to celebrate this weather

so we spent the entire saturday in the park

clay and orson  

walked home from the park to find a handwritten note + polaroid in my mailbox from corine

love.

it's hard to get out of bed on weekend mornings when 

olive is in mega snuggle mode 

so i lounged in bed and read a bunch...

this book is making me miss watching madmen - which is apparently not airing season 5 until 2012

bummer!

the weekend...

finally tried the pasty shack  

happened upon this rad tree with icicle-like formations off the branches 

went to charlie's 1 year birthday party 

something about being at a 1 year old's birthday party and not having a one year old

inspired us to day drink the rest of the day away.. because - we could...

the weekend

got to tour the loomis basin brewing company 

eat at the high hand conservatory in loomis

discovered the crescent club in old sac

got my bangs cut

was lacadia's +1 to sacramento fashion week's finale show 

+

 watched the oscars with some lady friends

________

oh, and most importantly - omar turned 3 years old yesterday!!

coolest kid i know ! 

i wish i could have been in minneapolis to celebrate...

happy birthday lil man 

thank you, gay bars!

i totally needed a long weekend

to relax

catch up with friends

check things off lists

cook

nest

take photos

celebration plan

read

catch up on the ever growing pile of new yorkers stacked on the coffee table...

which has been mocking me for weeks

highlights from this weekend...

having z + dom + dad over for dinner

pops

dom took part in a duathalon in granite bay, we hung out after in folsom before they took off to reno

z surprised me with this creamy cheese spread that we grew up eating... 

so good! 

trish and i indulged in a major funday sunday - which included much needed catch up, fancy cocktails,  and a side of dancing at badlands (at 6pm on a sunday...)

thank you, gay bars, for providing a platform for those who feel the urge to boogie in the middle of their sunday !

we woke the next morning totally motivated to hit the goodwill 50% off sales

but the lines were SO ridiculous - we traded it in for breakfast at pancake circus

i can't believe this was the first time entering this establishment in my whole sacramento life

it was everything i had imagined plus some

we ate at the bar - which i have to say, i love doing when dining with two

fyi - they serve dinner.  but non-meat eaters beware - only meat options :)

i thought it was awesome.  i'd totally go back when i'm itching for some greasy country potatoes + 

some good people watching
