Calendar of Events: Goodbye Bay Area
I was incapable of working today. Instead, I gathered moving estimates, called 1,000 different people about moving, and thought long and hard about how this is all going to go down in a month. And how I am going to squeeze in everything I want to do in the Bay Area to say goodbye. Here is the tentative calendar of events:
April 27th: Finalize moving estimates, select mover, schedule date
April 30th: Family photo shoot with Aubrey Trinnaman at Stow Lake and the Chinese Pavilion (where we got married!) in Golden Gate Park, tea in the Japanese tea garden, a visit to the California Academy of Sciences, and dinner at Dragonfly
May 4th: A trip to the Ferry Building (my ultimate happy place), Tartine (for croissants), Bi-Rite Creamery (for ice cream) and Delfina (for dinner)
May 5th: Cinco de Mayo AND Japanese Children's Day...meaning something Japanese, and something Mexican. Maybe this means teriyaki chicken tacos.
May 6th: Get my hair done before moving away and trying to find a new stylist (ugh).
May 7th: Go with Kris to Berkeley for the day to work and eat gourmet sandwiches at Gregoire and pizza at Zachary's.
May 8th: Trip to Cowgirl Creamery at Pt. Reyes
May 9th: Baby Loves Disco! OK. This is not totally sanctioned by Kris, but I want to go. Monica, are you in?
May 10th: Mother's Day. I don't know what's going to happen this day, but it Better. Be. Good.
May 12th: Kris leaves for a conference in Japan
May 16th: Day to say goodbye to Berkeley: 4th Street, Shattuck, College & Claremont, and maybe even Piedmont.
May 17th: Kris returns from Japan
May 23rd: Goodbye party (tentative...this is Memorial Day weekend...are you even around?!?!)
Also in the mix: All other moving activities, buying a new laptop, planning Maryn's bridal shower/bachelorette party, three doctor's appointments (plus botox...and yes, it is absolutely necessary), three million ticky-tacky chores on the to-do list, and three visits to the physical therapist for my you-know-what. Oh yeah, and INFINITE work stuff to take care of. Kris and I are totally in over our heads.

You know, Island's has teriyaki chicken tacos. Not sure if they're up your way, but it could save you some time on May 5th.
