This weekend is the second week of a string of very busy (albeit fun filled) 8 weekends in a row.  It’s going to be a challenge to keep up with these blog posts, but at least I’ll have something to write about every week.  James Chung is making a week long visit to SF before we head together to LA for some socal fun.  We started the weekend with a trip to Toyose, then on to some other bars in the mission area.  I was incredibly tired as I usually am on Friday nights and it was a relatively calm night for all of us.

The next morning, we headed up northeast to the city of San Rafael for golf at Peacock Gap GC.  It’s always fun to play at a new course, and this time was no exception.  The last time the four of us played together was in San Diego, and playing at a new course under warm weather made me feel like I was back in SD.  The course was well maintained and fun, but the putting greens were a bit ridiculous in terms of difficulty.

Crossing the San Rafael Bridge! I’ve crossed all the bridges in SF!

I found their tee box markers to be very creative, although the silver and black peacocks were somewhat confusing.  Okay, only I found them confusing, but that’s still 1/4 golfers.

Overall, very pretty course!

Bahm actually makes for a very good golf snack.  So does beer.

This picture doesn’t do justice to how hard the greens were, but beer definitely helped (not putting-wise… just emotionally)

The greens were the least of James’ problems though.  Sorry James, had to post it, too funny.

Winning price: In-n-Out double-double w/ animal style fries. YUM =P

We were all too tired to do anything crazy after golfing, so we headed out to our favorite bar Playground.  We played some games, ate some food, drank some drinks and ended the night in relative calm once again.

Titanic!  Now that I think about it, what a gruesome name for a drinking game!

The next morning started with brunch at Stacks and we ordered way too much food as usual (I blame one particular person, whom I shall not name).  It was also the day of Bay to Breakers and since Stacks is near the route, we got to see a lot of people in funky costumes or a lack of clothes in general.  I think I saw at least 5 butts, all dudes.  I love SF -_____-…

As an homage to Bay to Breakers, I created my brunch time masterpiece.  I call it, face.

The day was just getting started and we headed over to Japantown to fulfill Ahsome’s wishes to take sticker pictures.  I was a bit blown away at how complex these machines have evolved over the past decade.  Heck… without her help, I don’t think any of us would have known where to start (we probably wouldn’t have taken them in the first place, but that’s not the point).

James looks lost with all the lights

Chris is amazed!

So many options, so little time…

After the picture session, we headed to church, then for some ice cream at bi-rite, then a tour of Twin Peaks and Fisherman’s Warf, then finally picked up dinner at Little Star and ate at home to cap off the day.  Phew~ I didn’t realize so much was possible in one day.  Now I do.

Bi-rite is just around the corner from church, must go more often!

James’ double.  Although I think this is called a single.  One scoop is a junior.

Ice cream power!

These fellas were EXTRA stinky today.

Thanks to James, we got a really good tour of Pier 39, stopping at a lot more stores today than I have all of the past 2 years.  There were definitely some interesting stores, although I’d never buy anything.  Do kids really want this?  I mean, really?

We were wondering 1. Who was honking non-stop and 2. Why people were so amazed at this dog inside a car.  Then- all our questions were answered!

Mmmm~ Now thats a good way to end the day.  I planned on eating one.  I ate two.
