1) All White Theme Party: We had definitely never attended one of these before. I went to Target last week to look for an inexpensive outfit to wear and of course came out $200 later with a legitimate pair of shorts for the party ($18) and still have no idea what the other $182 encompassed... Girls, you know that with Target, you never do. Dave did his part as well by purchasing a new pair of all white sneakers (not at Target...come on, this is DAVE) that he was all too proud to wear. He looked like Fabolous with them on - such a gent! Here he is with Jaime on the ferry (see next point):
2) Ferry to Tiburon! I have never been to Tiburon, much less taken the ferry to Tiburon or Sausalito. Here is a map of where Tiburon and Sausalito are in relation to San Francisco. You can get there by either driving across the Golden Gate Bridge (which was not an option, per point #3) or taking the ferry. The ferry was fun because a) they serve beer on board, b) they cruise past Alcatraz so you feel like you took a tour without taking a tour and c) it's truly an enjoyable way to transport yourself across the water - very relaxing and you get great views of the city and the bridges.
3) Sam's Anchor Cafe and Electric Lemonade! We've been hearing about this place Sam's in Tiburon, where you can sit outside and relax all day while downing Electric Lemonades (Skyy Citrus and Lemonade). Valerie's party was at Sam's and it could not have been more convenient! It is located directly off the ferry, so we didn't have to walk or cab anywhere once we arrived in Tiburon. Our all white outfits were a hit and we were able to sit, drink, eat and have fun for hours. One electric lemonade and you're a little tipsy. Two electric lemonades and you're walking a little funny but in control. Three, you know you're gonna have problems and FOUR you are truly on the floor. Fortunately, I stopped at three AND religiously did my water-in-between-each-drink rule which allowed me to have a great time and still wake up at 7am feeling wonderful!
The bonus event of the day was that, on the ferry ride back to San Francisco, we sat next to this cute couple (Alex and Jen), who then ended up coming with us to a bar in the city, bringing their friend Heidi into the mix, and hanging out with us for the rest of the afternoon and night! They were super fun and I am grateful yet again at how easy and open it is to meet people here in San Francisco. There is no pretension, no huge expectations, just having a great time and seeing where it takes you.
Dave and I were finally walking home from the long day (9:00am - 9:30pm) last night and I told him that I can't possibly imagine being any happier with our life than I am in this moment. We have great families, great jobs, growing friends and now - as of Sunday - a great apartment to make it all full circle. Life is good.....

Awesome Diddy like party! You seem to have serious self-control...I would get to two and think I was fine. When I hit 5 and spent the night in the bathroom, it truly would have been a memorable party.
No earthquake experience? Come on...I am dying of jealousy.
