Grandparents rock!
We almost didn't do it. Keep our night-away date, that is. When it came time to leave Jesse was fine but we were both wondering...could WE really stand to be away from HER? With a push and a "Go!" The grandparents were out the door. We went to Berkeley and saw probably the most exciting college football game of the year, Cal vs Washington. Being on a college campus was just the right vibe to bring back that carefree "we're dating" feeling. Dinner in the city was at San Fran's A16 restaurant - rustic, delicious, cozy. As a wine pro I loved the wine list--all Italian wines from grapes and places you've never heard of...Etna Nerello Mascalese could just as easily be an opera or a hot sports car as a wine. Since I'm not drinking we asked for half-glasses of lots of different wines by the glass so John could try lots of tastes. And of course I got to smell them. The Vespa and Moscato whites were so fragrant I wanted to dab them behind my earlobes and wear 'em! It did make me look forward to my first taste of Champagne after the baby comes. We strolled around the SF Marina district to walk off the calories a bit then headed back to the hotel looking forward to a night and morning with no baby wakeup calls...
