My younger brother, Dane, came to visit for the weekend. He graduated from the University of Colorado last year with a degree in Film and moved to LA shortly after. Unfortunately, we don't get to see him as much as I would like, but I was so excited that he came out to spend the weekend with us. He keeps me laughing for hours on end and we love to goof around and reflect on funny childhood memories.
As a single, 24-year-old, living a fast paced life in LA, he finds trips out to Walnut Creek "relaxing." We took Rudy to the local dog park after he got in on Friday and for whatever reason he found this to be extremely amusing. He also found it funny that we knew all our neighbors' kids by name and that they all played outside in their front yards. Although this is a huge part of what I love about where we live, he considers this to be strange, yet refreshing.
Anyways, we enjoyed what I consider to be a pretty eventful weekend. Friday night involved dinner at Sushi Groove. Knute, Dane, and Eric later went over to a friend's house for Poker while I retired to my bed (it was nearly 10 o'clock...a late night for me these days). Saturday was spent grocery shopping, a trip to the dog park (again), and then we headed to downtown San Francisco for an afternoon of lunch, touring around the city, and shopping. That evening we came back to Walnut Creek and had a few friends over for a small BBQ (which required some preparation on my part). On Sunday we slept in and then I got up to make brunch. Dane wanted to see the movie 10,000 B.C. (which I highly DON'T recommend) and after the matinee we stopped by Claudia and Mark's house for a quick "hello" before we had to head off to the airport. On the way there he was talking to our mom on the phone and when she asked him how the weekend was, he responded, "relaxing." Hah...I found this too funny. After dropping him off I felt like a needed a nice, long nap.
Overall, it was a wonderful and fun-filled weekend, but by no means would I consider it to be "relaxing." I guess we'll need to make a trip out to LA in the near future to let Dane entertain us for a few days. I find this thought extremely exhausting. Wow...I must be getting old.
