Abigail’s spring break happened last week. I am blessed and fortunate enough to have spent the week with my daughter!<\/p>\n

Saturday April 4<\/h3>\n

We hard boiled and colored eggs for Easter
\nAbigail had a sleepover with our neighbor Ana<\/p>\n

Sunday April 5<\/h3>\n

Easter with Family – egg hunt at home! The easter bunny hid a LOT of eggs in the back and front yard. One magical moment for me was finding one of those eggs buried deep in the flowers of my wildflower garden

Monday April 6<\/h3>\n

We spent the day in San Francisco. Took the Richmond Ferry (the absolute best way to travel!), went to Chinatown, saw supa-cool art and the time capsule they opened in the downstairs of the Transamerica Building, had a brief but bad experience at a tea-house in Chinatown, had lucious and amazing food

Tuesday April 7<\/h3>\n

We did an Escape Room<\/a> in the morning, had handrolls at the new Japanese supermarket in Emeryville, Tokyo Central, then got a wild 40 minute demo at the Apple Store for the Vision Pro!<\/p>\n

Wednesday April 8<\/h3>\n

Wednesday was do nothing day. It was glorious! We did nothing!
\nBut for dinner, Megan and Abigail made Rib-eye, slightly smashed potatoes, and beans. They came out great!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(It was originally going to be “Make every meal from scratch” day. I got excited, suggesting we make a peanut and butter and jelly sandwich from scratch: grinding peanuts, making jelly, and making bread. I honestly love that idea! But Abigail was turned off by that same idea.)<\/p>\n

Thursday April 9<\/h3>\n

Thursday was Driving Without GPS Day!<\/p>\n

We took off, driving down San Pablo, delivering some packages to post office-like places, including the Lucky’s supermarket, for an Amazon return. At Lucky’s we found a Pokemon vending machine but were disappointed that it was all sold out. In the 5 minutes we were there, 2 people came up to it, checking to see if it had cards. Apparently, the machine ISN’T sold out, it only makes cards available every half-hour or so! I feel like I could SEE the poke-addiction in the one guy’s eyes who told us the Target down the street had cards. He whipped out his phone and, in 2 taps showed us a photo of the display. 2 taps! That display was close to his heart!<\/p>\n

After that, we were off again and found ourselves at Happy Donuts!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then down the road and we wandered into Fenton MacLaren furniture. We had a blast trying out the couches, oogling their fabulous (and pricey but worth it!) cabinets, dressers, and whatnots. We left with smiles on our faces.<\/p>\n

Then, continuing down San Pablo, we found ourselves at Oakland Ice Skating Ring! We got excited about maybe skating but found out the public skate session was about to end. So Abigail thought, “Ooo! They have a fancy cotton candy making machine!” And I thought, “Ooo! Let’s have some real food instead!” and we walked the neighborhood until we found sushi!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That gave us the energy to go back to the Oakland Skate Center. So we wandered around, looking at the skaters. But when we got near the rink…. oooo!! It was cold! We asked the staff if they had winter clothes we could borrow, putting them on over our shorts and T-Shirts, but no! So it was time to go home, promising to return some day soon.<\/p>\n

Friday April 10<\/h3>\n

Stuff happened on Friday, I just don’t remember what!<\/p>\n

Saturday April 11<\/h3>\n

Saturday had Megan and Abigail visit Costco, some chill time in our new RV in the rain, and a sleepover with Leia! The sleepover had it all: a great dinner, microwave chocolate cake, hot tubbing, making with Abigail’s new Cricut, staying up late, and everything!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
