LAX-SFO... Germany?

You know it's a good weekend when you start in San Francisco and end at Oktoberfest. The Desotell Fam headed up to SF for the weekend to attend friend Dorothy's wedding (yay Dot!!) The trip was short, but we were able to do a few of our favorite things.

Nick & Daddy heading to the car to meet Kevin's god-daughter, Emma, and her mommy, Hope, for dinner on Friday night. Mmm - Celia's. Tasty food and even tastier margaritas...


Nick checking out the BART schedule, making sure he doesn't miss his train.


The Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building on Saturday morning - can't beat it. As per his normal Farmer's Market routine, Nick 'grazed' his way through the place.


Mommy & Nick eating lunch at Americano. Nick has mastered drinking out of a straw - although he still doesn't realize that if he's sipping from a straw, he doesn't need to tip the cup up to his mouth. Hence the bib - or we'd have one wet Munchkin.


Nick takes advantage of an open couch - those can be hard to come by during a typical Friday happy hour.


A big day out makes for one tired little boy.


That evening, good friends Kirsten & Sean agreed to watch Nick while we went to Dot & Eugene's wedding. The report was that Nick was a good boy and didn't break anything this time!

The wedding was at the Old Fed in the Financial District. It was beautiful and so was Dot!


Here's the happy bride with friends Bindu & Thushara.


And the two of us enjoying a rare evening out sans-Munchkin.


So, where does Germany come into all of this? Why Oktoberfest at Alpine Village in Torrance, of course! It's apparently the biggest Oktoberfest in all of North America. We returned home early enough on Sunday to catch the last day.


It was lots of fun - tons of kids running around, fun music - balloons for the kids...


And, of course, beer. You can't be at Oktoberfest without drinking a stein of beer, can you?
