Tom's friend Bob turned 50 this weekend and his wife hosted a surprise party. The invitation said "semi-formal" so we got gussied up and headed to the party. Well, it wasn't exactly a surprise since Bob was standing in his backyard when we arrived. It was also about 90 degrees in the backyard. His wife had arranged for a photographer to take group pictures so we did some posing in different combinations. It was a bit strange and very sweaty.
We had someone snap this picture of us before we melted.
The cake was at risk of melting too so it was brought out and cut before dinner. It was pretty impressive to look at and it tasted great too. The party was heavy on the Warriors decor and theme, and another guest commented to me that that should have been the dress code since we would have all been more comfortable in some Warriors gear.
The kids stayed the night with Nana so we could attend the party, and Tom asked if she was willing to keep the kids today so we could drive to Sacramento and check out a car. Tom has been looking for a particular pre-owned BMW with a particular package in a particular color. He was pretty sure it was the right car for him, but we had to go out there and make sure. It takes about two hours to get there so we got up and out the door early. After a test drive and some careful consideration, Tom decided to go for it.
He drove this Acura for 11 years. It served him well but it was time for a change.
Quite the upgrade!
He was pretty happy about it and the drive home was fun.
The whole ordeal took eight hours with traveling and signing papers at the dealership. It wouldn't have been possible with the kids so we were really appreciative that Nana hung with them all day.
