Girl’s recon trip last Thursday.
Had to check out Resto’s new digs at 188 Henry Adams Street in the old Ed Hardy Antiques Showroom. (Not like I was a regular there – I think I went once with Harriet & Cecca in high school.) The place is making waves because it is a Chain store, and open to the public as opposed to The Trade. Heavens. Not sure which is worse. Read a good article if you’re interested.
It was soooo lovely. Madie, Kiera and I all agreed, the prices are so stratospheric, we might as well have been in a museum. (Full of faux antiques.) Oddly, the goods were so out of our budget that we weren’t even pining over anything. Or doing the number crunching in our heads. So it was a great little trip with a quick bite at an outdoor table in the warm sunshine.
I wish I had taken a photo of the polished cement floors there – that was probably my favorite. (I didn’t like their crunchy pea gravel outside – it looked fine but what a mess – I’d never choose it for myself.) Here, for fun, are some of the things we liked a lot – and a ridiculous price example for the thing I found for Lucy:
And here are the quick snaps I did take. :)
Fleet Week!
We had our own little field trip up the hill today. I drove the kids up to Twin Peaks to look for Blue Angels. I was tired of having them overhead, but only for .8 of a second before they went out of view. Also, I wanted to show Oscar the concept of an air show before he developed a hunted feeling.
Oscar’s school is right by Twin Peaks, so at 3:40 on the drive home, I took a right instead of going straight. We got the last parking spot in the top lot, and hurried to the rail in hopes of catching the last 10 minutes.
It was Lovely. Gorgeous day, and Beautiful airplanes over the whole city. I didn’t have my camera with me since it was so spontaneous, (and too bad no camera in my phone…), but it was nice to be able to enjoy my kids for a moment without hunting for a good photo the whole time.
here, this is exactly what we saw, in case you want a visual:
UPDATE
We have thoroughly enjoyed the Blue Angels. Oscar made lots of use of the Viewing Deck up our back stairs. Here are our home versions:
