Our Big Event (part III)

So, it's high time I wrap up the recount of the Big Event (then I have to get to updates about our Santa Cruz trip, and my new job!). Heading into brunch on Sunday morning. Had quite a spread - quiches went quickly, muffins, bagels, mimosas. Seemed to get rolling a bit late - most folks stopping by on their way out, not staying too long. But there were quite a lot of folks coming through after all, and a handful of people sticking around. And moving onto the help of the cleanup. (Thanks again, all!). Then there were those 2 dodgy characters, eyeing the bikes and being rather intrusive... proved to be nothing of note... We were worried about getting everything back in the cars we had. But in the end, we packed up OK, and began the ride home.
Got home in the afternoon, packed up, set gifts aside (more thanks - thankyou notes have all been sent, actually!). Gordon and family spent the day in SF - Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, then came by for pizza in the afternoon, on their way out to Livermore to get out of the commute traffic to start their drive back home. Nice having them over for a last day. The ice cream man even came through the hood, and I treated everyone to ITS-IT, which no one had tasted before!
Monday we had off, too, so we caught dinner with Tom Miller, and Jan & Troy - went to Becky's Chinese, then walked around Rockridge. This was before all the robberies happened, thankfully...
So, that wraps up our spectacular weekend! Really wonderful getting everyone together and sharing the days with them. Especially family who had never been out here (or at least in a long while). And thanks again to all our helpers. Those that were there, please share your thoughts & pics!
