Some weekends are lazy and some are filled with friends, family, and fun.  This past weekend was the latter.  Saturday started with brunch at the Ferry Plaza where Kumquat practiced taking photos with the iPhone. 

This is the picture she took of me.  Not too bad, kid.

On our way home, the kid fell asleep so we indulged with some wine and macarons from the cafe downstairs from our condo.As soon as she woke up, we packed up our stuff and headed back out for a train ride to the Bangs’ for a BBQ.  We started planning this BBQ since beginning of May and only recently found a mutual free weekend.

It was fun catching up and to see all the kids together. At one point, all the kids were in the backyard and Jesse was the only adult.  He had a moment of panic and yelled, “Hey, I think we probably need one more adult out here.”  He did just fine for those 10 minutes.  Click here for more photos from Kumquat’s perspective.

On Sunday, Jia and Jason had a rare day off together so they came over to spend a very warm and sunny day in SF with us.  At brunch, the two brothers were both cooking in the sun and had to cover themselves toward the end.

After a 2-hour nap/break at home, we all headed back out.  We went to Union Square and found lots of party-goers finishing up them Pride Weekend festivities.  We opted for drinks and sweets at a cafe overlooking the street, which was so nice.

For dinner, we went to Kin Khao (literal translation in Thai: eat rice).  It’s created by Pim, a famous food blogger that Jes has been following for years.  She was actually working there and served a couple of our dishes.  The menu consists of dishes that are her playful twist on traditional Thai dishes.  Some of them are actually spicy enough for Jesse to appreciate too.  The papaya salad was legit, fried chicken was good and came with sticky rice made the right way, and the massaman curry was made with short ribs.  Overall, it was a fun dinner but I don’t know if I’ll be going back there.  When I’m in the mood for Thai food, I want the real stuff and lots of it for a cheaper price.  Most of the dishes were good but made me crave dinner at Thai Nakorn.
