Parent Weekend 2016 Berkeley

So we decided last minute, sort of, to go to Kurt's parent weekend.  KR had jury duty calls the whole week, and he called every night at 5 and was told not to report in.  Thursday he calls me saying that Angela was in labor and Greg wanted to know if KR can work for him on Friday.  I reminded him that there is jury duty and we won't know til the office is closed to see if he has to report.  Susan Rhlinger told KR that not to call too early, like maybe 9 PM is good as if there are others that call early, he will not have to report.  Greg decided to cancel all patients for Friday, and KR didn't have to report.

We packed up and got everything ready and left about 10 30, half an hour after we had hoped.  We did not stop at Harris' Ranch.  It was too expensive, and besides, it was still hot in Central Valley and we didn't want to leave Gracie.  We got to Pleasanton and Warren texted us to come to his office to get the keys.  We turned around, and then he text to say that he is getting off early, so we turned around again.  Got to his house about 6, and Caroline came home about 6 30.  We went out to a Bermese restaurant and it was very good and very interesting.  BUT it was so late.

Next morning, we had coffee and drove up to pick up Kurt.  We were suppose to be there at 8 but didnt make it til 8 30.  Kurt looked good, and we proceeded to drive to Crissy Field in San Francisco.

There were many dogs, and Gracie had a great time.

                                                  

Then it was onward to the Golden Gate Bridge.

Next was the drive out to Golden Gate Park, where the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass concert was going on.Went to the hotel, which was Motel 6 and on Geary, where drug alley can be found.  We went out to eat at Marine Club while Kurt slept.  

                                                                                        

Next morning was Dim Sum in Chinatown, then to Castro Street for the 46th annual street fair.  Needless to say, there were a lot of gay men.  It also rained about five minutes at LaFayette Park in the city.  How interesting and refreshing.                                                                                             

We dropped Kurt off to work, 4 pm, and went to meet Rich Cook and his girlfriend, Nancy.  Then it was back to Warren's for bed and we left to go home the next morning.
