What a weekend! We had a great time with family who visited from Friday evening to Monday morning. We were able to fit in a lot in that time but there was still lots of time to catch up and enjoy each others' company. Friday evening after they arrived, we went to a local park so the boys could play some baseball while my sister-in-law and I chatted on the sidelines. Then we had 3 different kinds of pizza for dinner - Little Caesars, homemade Chicago deep dish with green and red peppers and half pepperoni (I think this is my husband's new favorite pizza), and homemade thin crust with Canadian bacon and pineapple (my favorite of the three). Our niece was a HUGE help in the kitchen and helped at every meal!
However, we did more than just eat. I love when people visit - we always see things that we've been meaning to see (but probably wouldn't get around to doing on our own). Saturday, we went to San Francisco and Muir Woods (my husband and I really liked this...we're definitely going to try to go back) and then Six Flags on Sunday. We had such a wonderful time - the weekend just flew by!
We're so happy that our family made the trip down; now we're looking forward to more visitors this coming weekend! In the meantime, here's the meal plan for this week and weekend:
Menu Plan
Monday: leftovers
