Weekend Stuffs

Howdy friends & Happy Holidays! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Esme's folks' in the Central Valley. Some highlights- Molly the Puppy's debut, so much awesome food, catching up with old (& new) friends, thrifting for Pyrex (Thanks, Anna) & the arrival of Esme's engagement ring! YAAAAY! We couldn't have asked for a better Thanksgiving present.

We're looking forward to the festive weeks to come & spending more time with friends & family. xo p+e

VTOWN BOUND!

Look out, Central Valley! Yer 'bout to get attacked by some TIGERS!

Teri Rooney Morgan, one of Esme's 1st Junior High friends,

is having a Baby GIRL, & the shower is Saturday! YAYAYAYAY!

SO Pete + Esme are headed SOUTH for the weekend

& couldn't be more excited about seeing family & friends

AND getting out of town!
We love you, San Francisco, but

WE NEED A BREAK, YA HEAR?!

We do love us some Visalia.

It's a pretty lil' place, full of cows, crops, murals & orange groves.

On a clear day, you can see the foothills

+ it's on the way to the Giant Sequoias!

Here are some pics from past adventures to Esme's hometown.

Weekend Stuffs

I'm sitting on the livingroom couch in my train conductor pajama pants while Esme attempts to put her toes into something called a "Flex-Tastic" next to me (don't ask...it's supposed to be therapeutic or something).

We just had a nice, quiet date together...

(mmm-mmm, Abacus!) & are about to start up a movie.

Hallelujah for some down/alone-time!

My parents & brother have been in town since Christmas Eve, & it's been non-stop go, go, go (& a little bit of ho, ho, ho).

It was a very quiet weekend here in The City. It felt like nearly everyone had left town for the holidays.

Parking on Valencia?? Really???

What better time for The Boy's family to come in for a visit?

As usual, we're going to let the photos do the talking. They don't tell the *whole* story, but they'll give you a taste.

We opened giant presents....

We went to the MoMA...

The top of the MoMA...

...& the top of the Marriott look like spaceships. 

We texted with friends in bars...

Point Reyes is lovely this time of year.

We're so glad you came to visit, Johnsons!

We hope you had a great time in San Francisco!
