Alice, her dad, Emma and I drove up to San Francisco for Halloween this year. Alice's dad has been staying with us again after my mom went back to Hawaii in late September. He's been watching Emma while Alice and I are at work. As always, he's been a great help and still cooks for us regularly.
Halloween this year was on a friday. Since I've been working my schedule to get every other friday off, we left for San Fran after work on Thursday. Well, not immediately after work. By the time we were ready and all packed, it was 8:45 p.m. On the bright side, we didn't hit much traffic. The drive went smoothly and we arrived at Alice's parent's home at 3:00 a.m. Since Sean and Luke had school that day, we were able to sleep in until around 11 a.m. or so.
On Halloween night, we walked a few blocks around Alice's parent's house on Girard Street before going to Alice's cousin Johnny's place for their costume party. Emma was dressed in a cute bumble bee costume that we purchased at Babystyle.
It rained all day on Saturday, so we ended up hanging out at the house. We didn't step outside, except to show Emma the rain. She loves water.
On Sunday, we ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant near Henry and Mary's apartment in the Sunset District. As it turns out, instead of heading back to L.A. after lunch as planned, Alice went back to her parent's to play some Mah Jong while Sean, Emma and I went over to Henry and Mary's to play Guitar Hero World Tour. Emma took a nice long nap too. At 8 something p.m., we were back at Girard Street packing. We started our drive back home at 9:50 p.m. and at 3:20 a.m. we made it back to our apartment in L.A.
