Open Book Moments: April 2012

Time is passing before our eyes. This seems to be a pattern with every post as much time passes in-between writing. We had a fabulous month of summertime weather and good cheer! There’s a couple of ‘firsts’ to report that occurred this month. Our first night away from the babe and two pearly whites have popped through B’s bottom gums. Steve and I haven’t spent much time away from B since the day he arrived, in fact, we hadn’t been away longer than 10 hours. Of those times at his grandparents, we spent those as working hours. We stayed the night at a friend’s house after dinner, adult conversation that included yummy dirty martinis and left the following morning to install 7 bike valets at the new Hot Italian location in Emeryville. B stayed with my parents and did great! I think it was really good for us to have a little break. Flash forward to my birthday weekend, the 21st, Steve and I were invited by College Cyclery (events sponsors) to the Sea Otter Classic 2012 at the Laguna Seca Raceways event in the Monterey/Carmel area. We took 6 of our bike valet displays and joined College Cyclery of Sacramento for the event. We had an amazing weekend! We promoted the bike valet, met a lot of friendly people, watched some really cool competitions and hung out. Neither of us had been to Carmel before and it is a beautiful, little beach town. We couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous weekend!
