sailing away and fireworks

This is what happens when I don't write up a post straight away - fully forgotten what we had for dinner Thursday and Friday night last week....although I do think there was an alfredo clam spaghetti in there somewhere.

We had a lovely weekend.

Saturday morning woke up to an email from a friend of J asking us if we wanted to come out on his yacht for the day.......now there is an invitation we just couldn't refuse! So we drove the 2 and a half hours to the tip of the Miura peninsula to the marina. It was such a perfect summer's day. We motored around the bay for a little bit (he said next time he would put up the sails, but this time it was a bit hard with so many non-yachties on the boat) then anchored offshore while the boys had a paddle, and K, me and another friend of J's sat on deck eating beer snacks.

We had to leave early, at about 4pm,, to drive back home to be in time to go to my friend's place to see the fireworks from their roof. We haven't seen fireworks for a few summers, so it was really good to watch. K wasn't scared of the fireworks, but she also wasn't that interested. However, she managed to entertain herself by putting on and off everyone's shoes. After the fireworks we had a drink and some dessert, then moseyed on home at about 9:30pm. It was a long day, but K was an absolute angel all day, especially on the boat.

Sunday morning we woke up and pottered around the house until about 10:30a, when J suggested we go to sushi train for lunch. So we piled into the car and got there just on opening time (along with 100 other people in the line-up! lol) luckily got a seat and ate our fill of sushi. K is eating more, and more different things at sushi these days - yesterday she had
1) chawan-mushi (savory egg pudding)
2) salmon roe sushi
3) prawn and avocado sushi
4) egg roll

Wow - she eats almost as much as me! lol. Yesterday I was going full-blast from the start, and so got full quickly, so 6 plates for me. I usually am around the 7 plate, with dessert mark.

Then in the afternoon, after K's brief nap (*sigh* for some reason K was not such an angel today - she must have worn out her wings on Saturday?) we headed to Costco to get a family sized pizza and eat it there. Have never done this before, but I was really feeling like pizza, and Costco's pizza is GOOD (in that greasy fast food from home way). But man the pizza's there are huge! I was almost embarrassed carrying that huge box! There was enough left over for K and my breakfast this morning. Cold Pizza - YAY!!
