Awh Shucks: Oyster Weekend & Sharks Penalty Fail

Saturday was BBQ @Tomales Bay day! Gorgeous weather, delicious oysters, and good company. Generally people should arrive early in the morning there to claim a table/grill as there are no reservations. I even asked a friend of mine who recently had a birthday there, what time is best to arrive. I then relayed this information to the people who were setting up. And so apparently, this fine weekend, tables at Tomales Bay were not in high demand -- upon arrival I was overwhelmed by smart-ass comments from the people who got there early for no reason. Mega irritating. Next time I'll just not give them a heads up.

After I got over that unwelcoming-welcome, I started to enjoy the day. The sun was out and winds were high, that's actually the perfect combination. Lots of oysters were eaten and shucked, and I only hurt myself once. Because of the storm during the week, the oyster farm was supplemented with Washington oysters (for lack of local oysters). But actually, I liked the Washington oysters better!

We started driving back mid-afternoon. Kevin and Kyle hopped into my car and we took the scenic route! Abso-freakin-loutly mind-blowing. Love the views off of Highway 1. We stopped at 2 of the lookout points just to take it all in. <3 a="" bay..="" before="" car="" class="separator" div="" drive="" enjoyable="" fun="" klaus="" more="" pretty="" rupert="" scary.="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;" taking="" the="" those="" too.="" twisties="" up="" was="" way="" winding="" with="" zippy="">


We met up with the other people back in the city at Land's End. And we hiked up to the labyrinth, which I'd actually never seen before.

Later Andy and I headed to Brian's for the night. I did work while they went to dinner and later Brian went out. When I was all done, Andy and I were singing along to Youtube video duets.. SO FUN!!! We didn't want to leave when Brian got back, LOL. We ended up going out but it was an uneventful night.

Today was Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals Sharks vs. Canucks at home. It was... a travesty. Yes the game was exciting, but no we didn't win. So disappointing! The Sharks were doing well in the first period, but with three back-to-back (and overlapping) penalties in the second period there wasn't enough time for the Sharks to catch up. Too many opportunities, not enough goals. Le sigh. We went to OSF afterward for our lunch of shame. We had a photoshoot while we waited for our table, they had some pretty cool furniture.

I had some awesome moments this weekend, the weather was fantastico. Summer is going to be amazing, and I will surely miss SF if I leave. Andy explained that the proper way to walk a labyrinth is to choose a question to ponder for the entire duration of the path -- the question I asked myself was "Could I be truly happy in Seattle?" Unfortunately, I spent most of my brainpower trying to keep balance and not get blown over the edge of the cliff.

As always, I'll try my best and ultimately let fate decide. But for now, from me and all of my fellow Sharks fans, a picture for the Vancouver Canucks.
