Big day

Ella and I had a big day yesterday. I had a dentist appointment in San Francisco that I was determined to keep so that we would have to get into the city. I wasn't sure if I should drive in or take Bart but decided there was something comforting about having the car to return to just in case Ella (or I) needed it. So off we went into the big, busy city after a 7 week absence. Mind you I have not NOT been in the city for this long since I moved here in 2000. We parked by Jim's office where he met us and we showed off Ella to all his coworkers. It was nice for me as well since I know most of the people there. It was strange being back in the office I once worked in but really nice to see friends I hadn't seen in a long time. Then we went by my work and said hello there. Afterwards, we met up with Kate for a nice lunch (wine included!) courtesy of my wonderful husband. Aunt Kate was wonderful and watched Ella while mama had her teeth cleaned. The day ended with us all meeting up with Jim and a couple friends for a little happy hour. It was a fun day and Ella did great. We are now not afraid to go into the big, bustling city again :)
