Esme's freaking out about turning 30 & I wanted to take her mind off it by offering a constant barrage of action & activities (even if one of said activities is to sleep for 12 hours). So in honor of our march to the big day (the 27th, if you're counting), I made a list of 30 things for us/her to do in the 30 days. Nothing crazy here: No safaris, swimming with sharks or tea with the Queen, just tangible, yet fun stuff.
Here's what I came up with, with a little bit of help from Esme:
1. Buy a new bike for Esme. DONE!
2. Eat @ Bar Crudo. Esme loooooves oysters & sushi. Me? Not so much. But I'll sacrifice. :)
3. Volunteer @ the Hayes Valley Farm.
4. Catch up on Mad Men. DONE!
5. Sleep 12 hours in one night. ACHIEVED!
6. Spend an afternoon in Dolores Park. You see? Totally tangible.
7. Read, & finish, a book.
8. Get breakfast at Dottie's True Blue Cafe.
9. Get a birthday facial at Pretty Parlor. verrrry shortly after 30. does that count?
10. Visit Esme's family in Visalia.
11. Have a drink at downtown alley speakeasies BIX & 15 Romolo.
12. Ride on the Seward Street Slides.
13. Spend a weekend in a beautiful house in Sea Ranch.
14. Walk on the beach & make a sand castle.
15. Get a haircut. FIN!
16. Lose 5 lbs.
17. Make an EPIC road trip mix.
18. Ride our bikes to the ocean.
19. Have a picnic in Golden Gate Park. IT WAS LOVELY!
20. Sing Karaoke.
22. Get lost in San Francisco. MAYBE THE HARDEST ONE, DONE.
23. Visit the Academy of Sciences. PICTURES TO COME!
24. Eat pizza at Gialina (our favorite). 25. Get tickets to Wicked.
26. Run the Lyon Street Steps together.
27. Take a photo adventure around SF to shoot old drug store signs (there are some cool ones!).
29. Make a felt happy birthday banner (& reuse it always).
30. Successfully bake & decorate a chocolate birthday cake.
You see? We're not climbing Everest here. We'll keep you posted on our progress, of course.
This is adorable Pete!
ReplyDeletegreat tangible list! we also want to see wicked, but think we will have to wait till another decade. :( too many financial obligations in the near future.
ReplyDeleteUmmm...Bar Crudo has $1 oyster Happy Hours. Sounds like heaven. I think you should go there 30 times before you turn 30. I would.
