Weekend update

This weekend was pretty fun. Friday night, Meg and I went out with the intentions of checking out a jazz club but found that there was a cover, so as volunteers, we decided to search out the free place. We ended up at Hamburger Pattie which is more of a diner but there was karaoke which was very entertaining to watch. Saturday we ran lots of errands and went to Second Saturday at night. There was also a block party and we met up with some of the JVCs. After all the galleries were closed, we went to the JV house for a little bit then I went out to the Streets of London (our favorite pub). It was nice to hang out a little more with the JVCs and get to know them a little better.

Sunday we had planned on going to the beach so after I went to church, we headed out. I got directions of the website for beaches in CA so I thought we were all set. It should have been a two hour drive down towards San Francisco but it ended up being about 4 1/2 by the time all was said and done. The directions took us down this wicked curvy road that was on the edge of a mountain and was up and down. To add to the fun of the drive, we were low on gas towards the end and thought that on one up hill trip, our car would just stop. Luckily, we made it out of the mountains and ended up at a different beach than planned. Had we known better, we could have done the trip down in less than 2 hours-this we'll know for next time. Instead, we ended up driving a total of 6 1/2 hours over the whole day and spending only 3 at the beach. Oh well, I guess it will prolong the onset of skin cancer that much longer.
