Friday evening Ngoc and I kicked things off with some great dinner conversation and and fondue with Nina and the two John's. Highlights include John B breaking out his homemade alcohol still to show off his welding skills, as well as Nina's shortbread cookies with homemade ice cream.
As if one night of culinary antics weren't enough, we made the trek to Sacramento to visit mom and put together our award winning paella. She has leftovers to last her the whole week, we cooked so much. It was also our first trip to visit any of my family as a married couple.
Sunday was one stellar moment after another. After homemade breakfast with mom, we jammed over to my cousin's house for a quick visit and then sped off to Vacaville for some bouldering behind the nut tree. Great hillside basalt scattered around above housing developments...the climbing is really gymnastic and overhung, but holds are positive, sticky, and for the most part pretty big. We also had great company along to show us around. Danica and Jesse were on their way to Folsom to spend some time with their fam, so we interesected half way in Vacaville for a few hours of climbing.
On the way back to town, we stopped by Ngoc's mom's place for some spring rolls and had a great time running around with Ngoc's nephew, Keith Jr.
What a stinking cutie he is.

All in all, one of the most stellar weekends in quite a while.
