Weekend in California

One of the perks of my job (the other is getting free breakfast... and that's it for perks) is that I get to travel to San Francisco a lot. I guess this isn't a perk per se, but it certainly is one for me! I get the chance to surf with my friends and spend time with my family. And this is exactly what I did the past weekend. The weather and waves made it a PERFECT day for surfing! For the Hook in Santa Cruz, it was pretty big which brought out all the surfers and made it a competitive day. Nonetheless, I was totally stoked as they say. :)

Later that night, the sis and I went to the Greek Theater in Berkeley to relive some old times and go to the Death Cab for Cutie concert. We started out with dinner at the old faves (Thai Basil and IB Hoagies) and ordered the same dishes that we used to order, and then walked through campus to the Greek Theater. I love open-air theaters and summer concerts!

Museum Mile

Last week, every museum on 5th Ave. was free! I went to the Met first.The Superhero exhibit is going on right now. The REAL Batman, Spiderman, X-men, and Wonderwoman suits worn in the movies are on display! They are incredibly intricate and amazing!

After the Met, I wanted to go to the Guggenheim and the Institute of fine arts, but discovered very very long lines and decided I was too hungry to wait in them. I did get to see a lot people drawing with chalk on the sidewalk (as encouraged by the event), and it was great to see adults getting into it!
