bitter sweet

hope everyone had a great weekend! the weather was AMAZING over here perfect for a nice day in the sun and a bike ride. the mister and i woke up early on saturday got ready and then jumped on our bikes and headed out to oakland to try a new park out called mosswood park. we heard of a really awesome deli that is off of telegraph called genova's delicatessen so we headed there first before going to the park. i ordered a prosciutto sandwich and the mister ordered a pepper turkey sandwich. i grabbed a root beer and the mister grabbed a couple of beers. since it was an itailan deli i new it would have my favorite italian candy, boci. this candy always reminds me of my nona who passed away many years ago. she would always give me boci whenever we went to her house...it always felt so special and is a happy memory one that i will always remember.



the park was great, we had it pretty much to ourselves. set up our mexican blanket and sat down under the redwood trees to eat our sandwiches...they were delicious! took a couple of super cute pictures of the mister and just lazed around until the sun started to set. we packed up and went on our way back to bart. when we got off bart halfway home through the neighborhood i realized i didn't have our camera bag...I LEFT MY FAVORITE MINOLTA CAMERA ON BART!!!!!!!!!!! we brought two cameras and i was somewhat relieved that the other camera wasn't in it. i would have felt even worse if it was. i am so upset for leaving it on bart, it seems i can never get pictures of the mister for some reason :( right when i got home i filled a lost item report and have been checking my email and phone every second in hopes that someone has contacted me that they have our camera. i still feel so horrible, i mean it is just a thing and i can buy another one but i am one of those people that consistently is loosing something...so i have no pictures of our day in the sun...oh well it was a great day anyways!


but before we went into the deli we stopped at ruby's garden which has the cutest kids wear. our little niece, clementine is turning 2 this year and both saw these really cute super hero capes that we couldn't pass up so we bought her one! we were going to get the eye mask & wrist guards but they didn't have one that matched her cape so we left our # so the own could contact us when they scome in....isn't it cute!!!!!!! i can't wait to give it to her so she can run around like a maniac in it! she is going to be the cutest little superhero ever!!!!!!

  1. It was perfect weather in the bay area for a picnic. Last few nights walking home, it was darn right warm!

    Sorry 'bout your camera, I know how frustrating that is. Ever seen this site?

  4. I'm so sorry you lost your camera!! That is so horrible.
    I hope someone gives it to the lost and found for you. You right, you can get another one, but still losing things is no fun at all.
    I hope it didn't ruin your lovely day. What great weather we're having!

  11. oh man! I'm sooo sorry you lost your camera! It sounds like a wonderful day (other than that) - fingers crossed it's handed in. As you say, although it's only a thing that's replaceable, it's always lovely to have memories in print & that's what really makes you sad to lose them.

    LOVE the super hero cape - COOL!! xox

  12. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog so I could check yours out..it's lovely!! That sounds like a fabulous weekend : ) I love Baci..they're my favorite candy. The love quotes always make me so happy. When I was studying in Rome we went on a day trip to Perugia where they're made! I'm sorry about your nona..but it's great that you have such a sweet and special reminder of her!
