Halloween

The great thing about working with the mobile dental clinic and school district, is you get a lot of long weekends! Also, a little thank you to Nevada for becoming a state and giving us the Friday before Halloween off! So, since I had a 4 day weekend right before Halloween, Gabe and I decided I would go visit him in Pleasanton instead of him coming to Vegas.

Friday, Gabe picked me up from the airport and we grabbed some lunch, then headed home to relax. Cousin Jena and her boyfriend Aaron joined us that evening for a trip to the pumpkin patch and a gourmet dinner made by Gabe, of course! We had a great evening enjoying many laughs, playing the jute box and a few beers for everyone except me.

Delicious Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Saturday, we went to Babies R' Us in search of crib bedding and nursery furniture. We had much success picking out the furniture we liked. However, the bedding was a whole different story. They don't have much of a selection for "gender neutral" bedding. We, also knew we wanted to stick with brown and green colors, wanted a modern look and nothing that screams baby nursery such as little teddy bears or ducks.
We ended our Saturday watching Gabe's SF giants lose the game and going to an awesome Halloween party at Cousin Darrin's! Also, we were graciously given a crib mattress by cousin Nicole, yay one less thing to worry about!

Sunday, was spent relaxing together and then watching the Giants game. Well actually my strange husband listened to it on the radio (he likes it better...don't ask me) while I anxiously watched on the couch. We waited all night for some trick- or -treaters however, only had a family of 4 little kids!

Monday, Gabe went into work and I went to the mall. Then, we went to San Francisco and had a long walk and ate at a restaurant right on the water. We grabbed some stuff for dinner and headed home to get ready for the Giants game! Yes..... the GIANTS WON!!! I don't think Gabe could have been any more excited and it was the perfect end to my mini vacay in Cali.
