This weekend, we crossed off another thing on our SF to-do list. My friend Kelli has been raving about the Conservatory of Flowers since we moved here. So even though Saturday was a little rainy and overcast, we still marched ourselves out of the house and down to Golden Gate Park.
I was super-excited about seeing the building up close. Not only is it beautiful, but it's also the oldest wood+glass conservatory in North America. Inside, it houses a variety of tropical plants and flowers including orchids, coffee, cocoa, rice. I couldn't pull Zach away from the Nepenthes. (You know, the carnivorous plants that eat bugs, spiders, small animals... no big deal.)
Honestly, I've been working from home a lot these past few weeks, so if nothing else it was good for me to put on something other than sweatpants and to pull a brush through my hair. C'mon, all you work-from-home folks. Amiright?
Other than that, we didn't do much this weekend. We mostly stayed inside and cooked for each other (Zach makes a mean pot of Spaghetti and my enchiladas are pretty incredible.) We caught up on our favorite shows. We cleaned. We worked. I, being a freakishly fast reader, started and finished 2 novels. (It's a curse - I literally can't start a book and not finish it.) And... that's about it. It was pretty low key.
So, what about you? What were you up to this weekend?
Hoooooray you went!! I hope you loved it, it is such a nice little retreat in the city!
ReplyDeleteWe did! Thanks so much for the recommendation! :)
DeleteThat sounds lovely! I'm curious about what books you read? Were they good?
ReplyDeleteI read "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" and "Wench." They were both good, in different ways. "Where'd You Go..." was more of an exciting page-turner, but not super-deep. "Wench" (about enslaved mistresses around the time of the Civil War) was really sad and thought provoking. I'd recommend them both! :)
