Then, I got to thinking, I'm not doing much over Labor Day weekend, this would be kinda fun. With about a week to go before the event, I made the arrangements. I also got in touch with my third friend who lives in the Bay Area, and found out she would be in town, so I planned to visit her, her husband, and kids.
Since I waited so long to buy tickets, I didn't have much choice on flights. As a result, I woke up at 3:50 a.m. to get to airport for a 6 a.m. flight to San Jose. What was shocking was the flight was packed and they asked for volunteers to be bumped!
In San Jose, I picked up my rental car and drove over to meet Noelani and Dustin for breakfast, delicious homemade berry pancakes. Soon afterwards stopped by the store for a few things, and drove out to the beach near San Gregorio.
The beach party was fun. Noelani roasted corn, chicken, and cooked red beans and rice. Soon, others arrived: Joanna and Ed, Geordan and Audrey, Colin, Sandy, Richard, Topher, Thomas. We wandered down the beach, added onto a small fort we found, waded in the ocean, boogie boarded, and just had a fun time talking to people.
Audrey brought some devil sticks so I gave them a try. I couldn't quite get the hang of it and would drop them after thirty seconds or even sooner. They were fun so I might try buying some so I can practice.
We wrapped up around 6 p.m. and drove back to Dustin and Noelani's for dinner and more entertainment...

That's a French loaf wrapped in foil. Later we would grill some drumsticks.
