So, the acceleration of social gatherings for the summer truly kicked in this weekend.
Friday evening, Jennifer and I met a group of friends at Forbidden Island in Alameda. We ended up being there until a little after midnight. I drove, and so got to enjoy only a small portion of the drinks. We did share around a Virgin Sacrifice (flaming bowl for 6 with sprinkled cinnamon), and had a grand old time. One of the couples said they were having an open house on Sunday for their new home in San Mateo, so that gave us something to do Sunday afternoon.
Saturday, I went for a bike ride, and then we headed out to the Sorrells for their annual Tiki Party. Jennifer drove for that one, but since our hosts backed down their drink portions to match recipes from mixes, so no one overdid. There were lots of people there from all around, and it was really great to see some of those we only see at the parties because they live so far away.
Sunday, Jennifer and I decided on going for a ride, and we planned to go to T-Rex for brunch. We were out a little early, and thought we would ride out and hit brunch on the way back. Then we remembered that way out at the end of our ride is the Boilerhouse Restaurant in Richmond. So we had brunch there with bottomless mimosas. The nice long ride burned off the alcohol and a lot of the food, so we were all set for the open house.
At the open house we met a lot of new people, and will likely see them again as some live close by, and others have invited us to events.
I'm going to need more rest if my social calendar keeps filling up.
