Soggy but fun starts
WOW, what an amazing weekend! It was so great to meet you all in person! AND to meet a bunch of new faces and blogs! My google reader just doubled in pages I think :D There is so much to talk about from this weekend... there is no way I can fit it in one post... well I could... but who would stick around to read it all? I'm a chronological person, so I'm going to start at the beginning.
I flew in and was picked up by my awesome buddy Jeanne who I met through a cookie exchange last year. Jeanne and I had been plotting our first meet up for months now and it was so exciting to finally meet. I didn't get to take a picture of the awesome sign she made so I could find her at the airport, but I DID take a picture of the amazing bag she made me!!
Jeanne is so freaking talented I swear. She made up this pattern and put my blog name into the knitting??? seriously??? And it gets even better, she had baked pear muffins that morning for our hike and picked me up a bunch of goodies to bring home with me! Gingerbread cake mix from trader joes- CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT! Some pumpkin butter - YUM. A bag of pumpkin granola that was the inspiration for her granola (go try it if you haven't yet, the bagged stuff was delicious, but her recipe blows it away!). She also brought me some dried mango pieces (how did she know I have a love affair with mangos??? so tasty!)
We went and had some fun adventures in the rain. I've never seen a redwood so she drove me over to Muir Woods to see them up close! BEAUTIFUL
now that is a BIG tree
they tried to stop us.. rain... closed trails... but we wouldn't listen!! onward!!
Doesn't it look like we are on another planet?
We made a pit stop at a look out by the Golden Gate Bridge... darn you fog...
No worries we hung out and chatted up a storm! I seriously can't wait for our next adventure together :)
OK tomorrow it's on to cocktails and street meats!
