Devin Turns 30

Devin turned 30 in June and in celebration, Brandon, Nikki, and I surprised him with...them!

The day they got into town I told Devin I was going to run to TJ Maxx (knowing that he'd pass on joining me) and collected "Brikki" from the airport. We were still down in San Jose, and as the three of us walked into the hotel room Devin just looked at us, saying nothing, trying to figure out what/who he was seeing.

It was a busy weekend: we got the keys to our new place, it was Brikki's first trip to SF, the Giants played the Twins and, it happened to be Pride. We did manage to leave the City and headed up to Sonoma county for a fews days of tasting!

Devin and Brandon went to the game...the Twins lost...badly.

Fear the Beard

We hit up Lagunitas in Petaluma and Russian River in Santa Rosa the first day...

Emily likes IPA, Nikki, not so much.

Saturday was spent tasting wine...

We got back to the city, and our neighborhood, just in time for Pride's Saturday night. Wow.

Blurry view of Twin Peaks and the lit pink triangle for Pride from our deck.

The sea of people at Castro and Market.

Devin's birthday dinner...

I have American Honey eyes!

We didn't have any of our "stuff" from storage yet, so the four of us camped out on the living room floor using a collection of random sleeping equipment. Nikki spent a few hours curled up on Yeti's bed covered up with a blanket from the airplane before joining Brandon on a borrowed air bed. Brandon had one blanket and no pillow. Devin and I were on another air bed, using sheets for blankets.
