We laid sod in the backyard....here's some pictures:
Just to remember where we started:
It was hot here yesterday, so we were up bright and early. In the yard by 7:30am....

| Belle enjoying the grass already! |

| All Done! |
Sod was laid and sprinklers were programmed by 10:30 am. Like painting, all the prep work of installing sod is the hardest part. It was a whole lot of digging and rototiller. A BIG thank you to my dad for lending us a helping hand and the rototiller!
We cleaned up, had lunch, gave Sara a million kisses, left her in the capable hands of my parents, and headed for the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley. It was brutal 100 degrees when we left our house around 3:30pm. A delightful 83 degrees when we pulled into the Claremont 20 minutes later! We are so lucky to be close to natural AC!
We checked into our room, explored a bit, grabbed a snack and a couple adult beverages and headed to the pool. Brian swam and I lounged by the pool with a book. So nice to have the pool mostly to ourselves. It was 5ish by the time we got to the pool and most everyone was packing up.

| Foggy view from our room this morning....the Bay Bridge is to the left. Golden Gate was just to the right. |
We walked to Rick and Ann's for breakfast. We put our name in for a table and headed for Peet's Coffee, which was right next door. It was overcast when we went to breakfast and sunny by the time we were done.
We were home by noon. We were excited to see Sara and Belle! Sara was so excited to see us..we got quite the greeting when we walked in. She had a great time with my parents. We had a great time at the Claremont. But, we both said that we missed Sara a couple of times.....love that kiddo!
