MY Saturday Escapades

As soon as we made the Clusterfest arrangements, I reached out to Michelle to see if she could meet me in San Francisco on Saturday while Mason and Bill were otherwise engaged.  We made plans just for brunch and then at the last minute, the plans expanded.  She had an extra ticket for Hamilton and […]

See Ya, San Francisco

Sunday rolled around faster than we would have liked.  We were up early, had breakfast in the hotel and dashed off to St. Patrick Church for 7:30 am Mass.  On our way to St. Patrick, we passed by Hotel Zetta and noticed some pretty neat art in the lobby.  It was so intriguing that we […]

Clusterfest!

When Bill discovered Clusterfest, “an unhinged extravaganza of comedy, music, podcasts, drag queens and more,” he knew right away it would be an opportunity to put a smile on Mason’s face.  Mason is a huge fan of The Office, Seinfeld and comedy in general.  Bill and I love San Francisco.  The weekend was a match […]

SF Friday

Good morning, San Francisco! We are here for the weekend for Clusterfest and plan to take the city by storm and giggles.  But first, breakfast at Mo’z Café was a quick walk from our hotel, Parc 55.  Mine was an everything bagel with cream cheese, sprouts, tomato and red onion and Mason’s was a short […]

Before Mass, though, Walker found a new crepe restaurant to […]

Touring the Towns

In the spirit of knowledge is power and time is of the essence, Bill and Walker took advantage of Walker’s Fall Break and headed to California to tour colleges.  Their journey from Evansville to San Francisco was riddled with delays but they finally made it. For their perseverance and suffering, the car rental gods bestowed […]

The Bay Area Blitz

As I mentioned in an earlier post, half of our family went to San Francisco after camp.  While Mason and I were exploring New York, Bill and Walker were in San Francisco.  They enjoyed a good night sleep at their hotel and were up and running early on Sunday morning.  They started with 7 AM […]

Divide and Conquer

We picked up two very happy and very dirty boys from Camp Ondessonk this morning.  This week Mason attended Boys’ Week and celebrated his birthday at camp in the unit of Chabanel. Chabanel is usually a unit reserved for girls but Mason always chooses it for Boys’ Week. The cabins are nestled in a cave […]
