Yah, belly band!

Its Monday Feb 25th, Paige and Kyle left yesterday. Mandy found out today about Ohio! It was a fun weekend hanging out with the sisters and Kyle. Paige and Kyle got here Wednesday and explored San Jose and Santa Cruz Thursday(in the rain) while Greg and I worked. Then at night we went to the super cool Cal Academy of the Sciences. They have Djs and bars set up once a week. It's a pretty spectacular place. On Friday they took BART to Berkeley and hung out with Mandy, Asa, and Sabi. Then Greg and I joined Noah and them for dinner at their Berkeley pad. Saturday we were everywhere! We drove across the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County and explored Black Sand Beach, then met up with Mandy and the kids at Yerba Buena Gardens. We had an early dinner in China Town, walked around North Beach (the Italian neighborhood) then said bye to Mandy n gang. The four of us went to the top of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel's Starlite Lounge for a drink, then onto the totally awesome Tongan room. Paige send me pics and I'll put some up. Then I drove the drinkers back to Ocean Beach where Kyle proposed and they got some sand for their version of a unity candle. As for me, today I'm tired, I think fighting off a little cold. I relaxed yesterday while Greg skied at Squaw. He spent 12 hours on a bus due to weather and traffic! But yes, the belly band. My cousin Kate let me borrow two of these wonderous inventions and they are definitely needed. They allow you to wear your normal bands but not have to button them. I don't know if its the Kara cupcakes, or Godiva brownies, but my sisters and I enjoyed some great food and as you can see, the buttons on my pants are about to explore. Belly band please! We're looking forward to a relaxing week. Then next week Greg is skiing with the boys in Utah and Mandy and I are taking the kids to Santa Cruz. It's still raining here. Its the most its rained since we've been here. Reminds me of home :)
