Next, we went to Alameda Beach with Pete and Sunita and got to enjoy some play time in the sand, and dipped our toes in to the water. We had a busy night planned with Wes and I slipping away for an Anniversary dinner, while the kids got to go to a dinner party with my family at the Wharton's house (this is one of the very awesome families I grew up next door to my whole life in Oakland.) The kids were lucky to not only have their Auntie, Uncles, and grandparents to hang out with there- they also got to play with my old neighborhood friends and a couple of adorable little children. Meanwhile- Wes and I had an awesome "First Date" (as Kylee kept calling it)... and figured out it was our first night out together since April, it was a much needed and greatly appreciated dinner together! We still got to enjoy the Wharton's party, too, and made it back in plenty of time for a few beers and roasting marshmellows.
And finally, Sunday was SO much fun! My parents had a great tailgate party planned, and were up at the crack of dawn (mostly because Owen woke up very early crying for Grandma!) But, my mom decided this was Owen's way of saying, "You must get the chicken ready for the Raiders game!" We were at the game around 9:30 am, and were all able to really soak in the cultural experience that is a part of being a crazy Raiders fan! We had a good size group, that included my family, some of the neighbors, friends of my brothers, and my good friend Jessica who flew up from LA with her fiance for a special Raiders Game birthday surprise. It was a long time for the kids to endure the wild tailgating- and aside from Owen taking a "walk" on his own for a few minutes, that ended with him being brought back to us safely by a neighboring tailgater- they had a pretty fun time. Even after Owen was on "house arrest" inside the car- he and Kylee really enjoyed watching a little Thomas the Train together as a nice break from the constant booming chants of "RAIDERS" that echoed through this packed parking lot. Although the Raiders didn't win, we were happy to see them score a few touchdowns and were just excited to leave all in one piece, and just as proud as always to be a RAIDER fan!

W.A.M.K.O,
On behalf of the PS Franco East All-Inclusive Resort & Spa, we would will like to send a special thanks to you. We had a blast having you all over for the 1st ever "M.H. No-Sleep Sleep-over". We enjoyed the faux fire in the backyard (which actually made out as a really nice dinner by candle light) and I really enjoyed my apprentice and sous chef Kylee, helping me out in the kitchen. She did an awesome job at ensuring that those cookies were delicious! I don't think I could have done it without her and my little rebel on the "Yellow Street-Bike" (as Owen would call it). Starting off the morning with a full-on waffle extravaganza was just the start we needed to get the day going. As for the morning activities at the lush estates grand park, it was way too much fun! (I think it had something to do with the boy's spinning sessions that really had us going!)
I dont think the beach was ready for us as we kept the party going and found as many seashells as we could get our hands on.
Molly's party was great and we were glad to have our staff do their best to grant you and Wes a little get-a-way and date to celebrate your 7th wedding anniversary at Scott's.
And lastly, the Raider tailgate was a great turn-out and was a lot of fun for kids and adults alike.
We can't wait to host another event and can't wait to come up and celebrate our favorite little biker's 2nd birthday! Love you all!
I'll be sure to recommend the PS Franco East All-Inclusive Resort and Spa to all my friends- I couldn't have imagined a more fun weekend! That was an AWESOME recap of the activities we participated in, Sunny... not to mention pretty funny , too! I just hope the Scribner Bed & Breakfast can host an equally exciting event in a couple of weeks!
I'm afraid to show Bob these Raider pics as he may fling himself headfirst into your family...he'll just blend in as a Franco, trust me. Tall, crazy, loud....hot wife! :)
Go Raiders!
No worries. The Scribner Bed & Breakfast is our favorite get-a-way north of the Bay! We always have fun and love the amenities! Talk to you later!
Wow! I think you are the only family I know that is busier than our family! I'd like to make a reservation at the Scribner Bed & Breakfast!
Hey guys-
Jessey, Bob can definately be an honorary Franco, you guys should come out west and we can do some Raider game/playdate festivities together!
Andrea and Sunita- you guys are SO welcome to come anytime, the Scribner B & B is a bit crazy at times... but loves to have company!
I'm telling you, he would blend right in! Especially decked out in all his Raiders stuff!
The craziness is the apeal and charm of the place. That's why we love it so much. What's better than getting into an ATV accident or falling into the lake out of your kayak without a life jacket??? It keeps us wanting more!! EXTREME!!!
