Tag Archives: Father’s Day

And that was a good weekend

…to which you may say, what weekend is not a good weekend?  Well, frankly, some are just better than others and this one was a good one!

On Friday, Auntie CC, Bean and I went to Rootstock in Los Gatos for an afternoon of vino and apps.  It was rather glorious and sadly there are no photos (living in the moment, people).  We needed to have our own fun since Zach was at the US Open up in SF (a Father’s Day gift to himself methinks).

Saturday morning after 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by abs, we did a 4 mile walk with a stop for iced lattes and bagels at the halfway point.  Despite the heat, it was lovely to walk to breakfast.

Upon our return we thought it would be a great time to finally get Bean in the pool:

Like with every new venture, he smiled through it Winking smile  Next time maybe I’ll get in..ha!

Saturday evening was spent celebrating a friend’s Birthday (Happy Bday Kate!).  The Bay Area was a balmy 95 degrees!  We all seem to melt around here once things get above 85.  Even bean had a sweaty upper lip.  Poor guy.

Sunday was my personal training session and once again my PT thought it appropriate to make me to do step jumps and burpees.  Blech.  Anything to do with jumping/bouncing is not my idea of fun. 

Before my workout, I gave bean gave Zach his gifts.  He even sported a new hat for himself in honor of his daddy:

Future golfer – what do you think?

Following the workout, Zach, Bean and I headed to Peets for some iced lattes to kick off the day.  He didn’t have many requests for celebrating other than these two items:

That would be Zach’s fave dessert: applecrisp.  My guess is that it will be gone by this evening.

And of course Pinkberry – please do not assume mine is on the left.  Zach is ridiculous and gets a large mango/original mix with berries and oreos.  I went the PBJ-esque route with PB/strawberry and cap’n crunch and granola (in  a more appropriately sized small).

Despite it being Dad’s day, I was able to sneak out and get a new mani:

Mint (gel) mani and yellow jeans – why hello Summer!

And that my friends is what made a better-than-average weekend!

What makes it a good weekend for you?

Whose froyo sounded better?  Kidding..sort of…I know you think mine sounds better right? Winking smile

Happiest Father’s Day to all the “dads” in my life: Zach, Dad/Grandpa, Gregorio/Grandpa G, Gary/Poppy.  Much love! 

And Happy Birthday (last Thursday) to my Bestie Boo Andrea!

Dad’s and Denver

This weekend was far better than the last Open-mouthed smile  Definite WIN!

Thanks for weighing in on my choices of what to eat Friday – it’s nice to know I’m not the only neurotic menu stalker out there Winking smile  I ended up getting the Chicken Parmesan because I wanted protein and also pasta.  Overall quite good, but then I remembered, that I’m not a huge fan of chicken parmesan or chicken for that matter (as of late), so I did my best to shove half in.  Dinner was followed by Sweet Treat Fro-yo, which the hubby and I agreed was only ‘meh’.’

Hopefully you all go to spend time with your dad for Father’s Day yesterday.  As you know, I live in Cali and my dads all live at least 2000 miles away.  Sigh.  But that doesn’t mean I can’t still give a shoutout! 

Happy Father’s Day to my Dad, Gregorio, and Gary!

And Dad, I can’t wait to see you in September!  Here’s a couple fave pics from my Dad and I on my wedding day:

And in case you haven’t guessed by the title of the post, I’m off to Denver again this week.  I’ve got some big meetings on deck as well as a “graduation” from my rotation program.  However, I think I’m most looking forward to the pedis I’m getting with some coworker friends tonight!

To keep up with my healthy eating while on travel, I’ve packed snacks:

I’ve packed some raw almonds, Nugo Darks (good god, I love these things) and Love Grown pecan-cran granola (—my last bag of Love Sad smile )

Did you do something special for Father’s Day?

What are your favorite snacks to pack on the go?
