This past weekend, P and I made our way over to the Bay Area on Saturday. We shopped in Pleasanton, enjoyed lunchtime cocktails and light eats in Jack London Square (Oakland), waited in the 30+ minute line for infamous Ici ice cream, and then ended the evening enjoying an extra large basket of chips and guac al fresco.
It truly does not feel like winter, or even early spring, in California. Please don’t hate, New Englanders, for complaining about blue skies and 75+ degree weather, but I am not quite ready to be running in shorts and a tank.
Afternoon Drinks at Plank
Arugula Salad at Lungomare
Summer Kitchen, Berkeley – next time!
We finally waited in the long (30+ minute wait) line for a single scoop cone.
