Soon after we returned from Charleston, I was off to California. Point of the trip was for work – we had a Board meeting, followed by a fundraising dinner with some alums, and then we were hosting a daylong conference with an impressive cast of characters.
It was complete chaos. Because our travel budget is so tight, only my boss and I were going to Cali to run all the events. Then at the last minute my boss had a family emergency and didn’t end up coming at all – it was a total nightmare for me. Everything ended up going smoothly and was a success but it was not fun at all!
Fortunately, I had decided to stay out in Cali for the weekend so was able to enjoy some time with friends and redeem the trip a bit. Had a wonderful Friday night catching up with Michelle. Then a mini-GSB reunion on Saturday with Michelle, Dani and Bill, Emilie and Ben, Chi, Shelley, Kerry and Colin (and all their cute kids). Super fun to get to catch up – especially nice to see Dani and Bill who just happened to be in town from Portland for the weekend! I was so glad to meet Dani’s kids – Sawyer is this gorgeous, blue-eyed charmer (who is going to be quite the ladies’ man when he grows up – watch out Dani and Bill!). And Riley is adorable – a totally mellow and happy baby.
Then finally Michelle, Kerry and I headed to San Francisco for a bit of Saturday night debauchery. Totally a blast and we made plans for a girls’ weekend in May to continue the fun. So, overall a successful trip but I returned home completely sleep deprived and exhausted – oh well!
