I had a great solo trip to visit friends in Oakland. The weather was fantastic and it was wonderful spending time with Sheena, Doug & Ava. I pretty much ate my way through the weekend, with an exercise class thrown in the mix. Since moving away five years ago, tons of new, amazing restaurants have popped up!

• Thursday arrival: lunch at the Ferry Building at Mijita Cucina, ice-cream from Ciao Bella Gelato
• Friday: lunch at Summer Kitchen Bake Shop, dinner at César Latino with Kate & Coulter
• Saturday: breakfast at Camino, dinner at Marzano

Goodbye Wyatt & Alexi. I'll miss you boys. Have a great weekend. I love you.
