First, Diane scheduled massages for Sarah and I at Gervais. It was SOOOO great! My therapist was Melinda (love her name!) and she was fantastic. After 24hrs of travelling back from Cork, it was exactly what my body needed. If anyone schedules a massage there, ask for her.
After our massages, Sarah, Finn and I headed to pizza dinner at La Perla with Sean's parents, their neighbor Connie, and our dear friends Greyson and Renee. I'd tell you my favorite dish, but everything on the menu is equally delicious, so I really can't single out anything!
The next day the McCully's + me + Connie headed to Autzen Stadium for the Oregon/Stanford game. Our good friends Cliff and Karen usually join us for the game since they are Stanford alum, but unfortunately they couldn't make the trip this time.
I was so stoked to go...I hadn't been to a game in 4 years, and I finally made it back. I have to admit that I was a little choked up when I heard the band play 'Mighty Oregon.' We truly have the best fight song in the country!! **Note: these pics was not from the day...I still need to get those from Sarah. It was acutally pouring rain that day, but I can't officially say that because 'it never rains at Autzen Stadium!' The game was a bit sloppy in the first half, but the second half was great. In the last two minutes, the Ducks pulled off the win!!
After the game, we headed to Beppe & Gianni's for dinner. After going to La Perla, we couldn't ignore the other restaurant!!! I also realized that I never made it to B&G's during the summer, which is shocking. We indulged in great wine, my favorite appetizer (Roasted Garlic with Cambozola Cheese and Grilled Bread), and of course, the house ravioli.
On Sunday, we hung around the house, mainly to recover from the weekend. On my way out of town, I met up with Grant and Nicole at Chapala's for lunch. It was so great to catch up with them, and there is so much to congratulate them on!! Not only did they just have the most beautiful wedding on Sept 20, but Grant just submitted his PhD disseration last Friday, and they are moving to Missouri at the end of the year where Grant will start his post doc and Nicole may begin nursing school!
Sooo...massages, the best eats in town, watching the Ducks beat Stanford at Autzen, and most importantly, time with family and friends. Can anyone come up with a better weekend? I think not!
