More Fun in the Bay

Saturday we packed in a lot of activities. In the morning we met up with D’s parents at Country Way the Original in Fremont for breakfast. The building is in the shape of a Swiss chalet or Weinerschnitzel, take your pick. D’s parents had huge omelets, which they shared with us, and we had blueberry pancakes and french toast.

After breakfast we went to D’s brother’s new place in Fremont, which we hadn’t seen before. Our friend Janelle’s boyfriend happens to live in Fremont, too, so they stopped by despite their busy schedule.

k playing with her only cousin.

After they left, D’s cousins came over. We talked a bit and then we walked to a Chinese restaurant nearby. There was a lot of food, including this lobster:

We went back to the hotel and everyone was able to take a (much needed) nap this time. Our next activity was a birthday party for the three year old daughter of one of my friends from college. It was at Gold Star gymnasium in Mountain View. I wasn’t sure if k would participate, but she did!



k’s favorite: the rope swing!
(Note to self: Don’t dress k in jeans the next time she goes to a gym! I don’t know why I didn’t think about that.)

n had fun too. I think he’ll be the type to really enjoy these kind of places when he’s a little older. He is already showing daredevil tendancies.

I think D was the only parent that participated too. He is truly a kid at heart. Later told me he wanted to do a backflip on the trampoline but thought better of it. I’m glad. 🙂

For dinner we met up with D’s cousins again, this time in Sunnyvale at a Mediterranean restaurant called DishDash. D had beef kabobs and I had a chicken schwarma salad. We also shared the mixed appetizer plate. k liked the falafel. Probably the best Meditteranean restaurant we have been to. If D had a Mediterranean category on his list, it would be on there. When we got back I looked it up on Yelp and there are 742 reviews (4.5 stars)! There must be more Yelpers in Northern California. I don’t know of any restaurants in OC that has that many reviews. It was also nice to be able to talk more with D’s cousins, whom we don’t see too often.

So that was our trip. We made it home in six hours!
