Weekend around town

We talked about going away someplace for the weekend with my parents, but they have been everywhere already. So we stayed around town.

Friday night we had Japanese food and Gombei; even convincing Mom and Dad to try the sashimi (raw tuna).

Saturday we went to Liam's soccer game and then up to San Francisco to see an air show over the bay. The most impressive, as usual, was a stunt pilot named Sean Tucker. He makes an airplane do things that just look wholly unnatural. Next up were the Blue Angels, 450 mph loud fighter jets at 100ft above ground. Mom also volunteered to have her photo taken with a couple of Marines. Then to dinner in Chinatown.



Sunday the boys built a little enclosure for a sump pump we have in the back yard, ate bbq, and went for an evening stroll in downtown Palo Alto.
