busy busy busy… thats what its been like the past few weeks. But I did take a little time off from work to do something fun…..
I just got back from my (now) yearly trip up north to the garlic festival. Last year was my first year going. However, I've been wanting to go for a few years. So when I got an invite from my brother & sister-in-law, I jumped at the chance. It was a win-win situation for me. I get to spend some time with my sister-in-law (& brother), and I get to go to the festival.
Well the festival was one of the highlights of the weekend. I got up
to the San Jose area fairly early on Friday morning, so we decided we
were going to go shopping (after our Starbucks fix of course). After
visiting my brother at his work, we stopped for a yummy lunch at a
little mexican restaurant close to my my brother's work. They make some
strong margaritas, which were quite good. Then we decided to shop. I
picked up a bunch of little goodies for the house and a cute pair of
pants and a new top. Had a nice dinner, and just relaxed at the house
for the rest of the evening (we were going to have to get up early the
next morning for the festival 
.
We drove down early for the festival, arriving there before the doors (or the ticket booth) even opened. We were practically the first peeps in line. Once we got in, we made a bee line for the food. Among some of the things we munched on are: garlic ice cream, garlic fries, stuffed mushrooms (with garlic, parmesean cheese and parsley), garlic sausage sandwhich, shrimp scampi and a buffalo kabob. Many of the foods we split between us 3 and we were so stuffed when left. Then we shopped for all things garlic (and since I didn't write everything down I may of missed a few purchases). One of my favorite purchases this year, is my garlic bobble head (click here to view). I'm going to try and get one every year (well maybe). One of the yummier things I picked up was the garlic kettle corn. It is very good, so much so I had a couple of orders from a few co-workers. That pretty much sums up my the festival. The rest of the weekend consisted of a little pampering (mani/pedi), a little drinking (some yummy drink recipe from the Mirage in LV) and dinner with my sister-in-law's mom. All in all, it was a busy and fun weekend.
