Never too old for the circus

It's that (increasingly cringe-worthy) time of year: adding to the number of times I've circled the sun. But if you've got to get older, you might as well do it in style. And what better than to bring my favorite people to my happy place to monkey around together?

Circus birthday parties: not just for kids!
I wasn't the only one with a birthday to celebrate this week! Our poopy princess is 2, making her no longer officially a puppy. Try telling that to her some time.
With my parents in town for the weekend, we took them on a tour of Albany Bulb, Lily's favorite pup-friendly urban adventure.

We rounded off my parents' visit with a quick trip up to wine country to take advantage of our free tastings thanks to the Boisset Wine Society membership. This time around we hit up Raymond and Buena Vista. Even without the pizza oven (it's not yet in season), Raymond was still an easy win. Next time we'll plan ahead and splurge for the "Winemaker for a Day" experience!

No visit to the Bay is complete without a couple Asian treats. After introducing them to the mochi waffles at Third Culture (banana espresso was the flavor du jour!), we put a bow on the visit with a final evening over at U Dessert Story for a volcanic bingsu. Delicious and photogenic!
