Mother's Day in August

I have the best kids! This weekend was my Mother's Day present. My kids planned a Mother's Day in August because we could not be together in May. We had the best weekend. Jessica and Kurt flew in Saturday morning and we headed to San Francisco for breakfast. They researched and found a little restaurant in South Park called The Butler and the Chef. It claims to have the best french toast in the city which is my favorite breakfast food. We all agreed that they were right.

We then headed back to Mountain View to see Gwenny. It is always fun being around when Gwenny reconnects with her kids. She was out of her mind happy. We all took a walk to Downtown Mountain View for their famous Gelatto. (One of us actually had three over the weekend and it wasn't me.)

We headed back to San Francisco later in the afternoon. I had to pick one thing I wanted to do, so we headed off to the Golden Gate Park to the De Young Museum for the Impressionist exhibit from the Musee d'Orsay. We were able to pick out a few painting that we actually saw when we visited Paris in 2000. We even saw the most famous mother of all...Whistler's Mother!

Dinner was a complete surprise. We had dinner and drinks at the Cliff House on Ocean Beach in San Francisco. The view was absolutely beautiful and our dinner was amazing. However, believe or not, we did not spend too much time outside soaking in the views because by that time the temperature had dropped down to the high 40's. Sorry to all my East Coast friends still fighting all those humid humid temperatures.

Sunday was a bit more low key. We just hung out together and did some exploring around Mountain View. We dropped Jess and Kurt off at the airport around 3:00, and Kurt and I headed to the pool for the afternoon. I am feeling like a spoiled little girl.

Thank you to my family for a wonderful weekend. It does not get better than this.
