Someone is 3

It's amazing that someone is already 3! Well, she still sleeps with us... and I don't want to change that : )

We spent a HOT spring day in Sonoma wine tasting to celebrate this milestone and a little bit of fun at Train Town for the birthday girl!

 

 

 

Picnic lunch at the park with all kinds of MEAT. So yummy in my tummy.

 
After lunch, it was a little of shopping in downtown Sonoma and off to the next winery, Sebastiani, with some fountain splashing action to cool off.

Finally, we arrived at Train Town 30 mins before closing and explored the township. All abroad!

 

Sam Wo

When we heard that Sam Wo, a hundred year old San Francisco institution, might be shutting its doors for good, we stood in line right away! Unfortunately it was Ella's first and last time...

Although we got there pretty early, we still had to wait about 45 mins to get seated. We ended up sharing the table with this nice mother and daughter duo. The Mom have been a patron of Sam Wo's for 45 years and started taking her daughter there since she was Ella's age!

 

We ordered the usual tomato and beef chow mein and their famous BBQ park wrapped in rice noodle sheet.

It definitely brought back some memories of us eating there late at night after going drinking. Those days are gone for sure, and life goes on as so appropriately depicted by a color pencil drawing hanging in the restaurant's second floor dinning room.

Happy Birthday Ethel and Elsie

It's been a year already. My girls are all grown up and laying eggs of all sizes for our family. We love them hard boiled, scrambled, sunny side up, over easy, and raw for hot pots!

We'd really like to get a couple more to lay some blue eggs!
