jon_chaissonAh, vacation. It's about time.
What we've done so far:
Saturday: drove down to Gilroy--the Garlic Capital of the World!--to the Gilroy Premium Outlets to buy stuff. And buy we did...new clothes for both of us, and an unexpected purchase--a new complete set of Calphalon cookware and a new grill pan at their outlet store. Ooh, shiny!
Sunday: not too much...hung out at the North Beach Festival up the hill at Washington Square Park. Had fun listening to a local classical string quartet who were phenomenal, followed by random Clash music between sets. And also found a new restaurant that reminds me of New England (finally--yay!): North Beach Lobster Shack. THEY HAVE CLAM ROLLS. Life is good. :)
Today it's a nice sunny day here in San Francisco, and plans to be a hot one across the bay in Berkeley. Why there? Because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emmalyon and I are heading over there via BART later on this morning for a day of walking around, shopping and whatnot. Chances are quite good that a visit to Comic Relief (apparently one of the best comic book stores in the Bay Area, from what I've heard) and the original Amoeba Music store is in order. Emm's a little sad that the yarn store up there is not in the immediate area, but I shall attempt to bring her there or to some yarn store this week. ;) We will also be walking around the Shattuck and Telegraph Street areas, as well as part of the UC Berkeley campus. Pictures of course will be taken.
Other plans this week include:
--The Osamu Tezuka Exhibit at the Asian Art Museum
--A trip up to the North Bay, including the original Taylor's up in St. Helena (as seen on Food TV! :p ), Napa, a yarn store named Muse, and maybe a trip to the Charles Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa (a maybe--we might reschedule that for a different weekend).
--The Great Book Purge. We are definitely planning to weed out our collection and finally get around to rearranging it so it's in some semblance of order. More than likely that will take place later on in the week. Chances are good that we will be posting our purge on LJ for all to peruse for snaggage soon after.
--Watching more of our DVDs that we plan on eventually getting rid of. These are most likely going to be the "bought it because it was cheaper than renting" movies. ;)
...and that's about it.
So yeah, going to enjoy this week, kicking back and having fun. Will post pictures and other stuff soon!

Oh--and confidential tolynxreign: After a lively conversation about Semisonic/Trip Shakespeare with Emm last night, it occurs to me that a few of our cds are still in your possession, ones I'd taken out of the car and meant to pack when we moved but forgot. I believe there are 2 Semisonic cds, and 2 compilation cds (with the IMF logo drawn on them) in white cd envelopes. If you see them in your unpacking/perusing/purging, PLEASE send them our way!!
