Strange, but fun

We spent this past weekend in the Bay Area.

Here is us walking and goofing off with Pepper at a park down the hill from the Lees' house (a public park which we learned was actually not a dog-friendly park, however strange and wrong that seems to us as dog-owners)...

  

Mason walked Pep in Alameda (where there's another dog-UNfriendly beach)

Sophia likes ice cream!

(which is not so strange because so does her big brother)

On Saturday night, we carpooled from Oakland with the newlyweds (so strange!) Serena and Brad to eat Chinese Hot Pot in San Francisco, which was new for me (we joked that this was their wedding reception as they went to City Hall in place of having a grand party). It was tasty, but strange (I was not a fan of the tiny fish on the plate which we were supposed to "cook" in the broth)...

... however, this sign (it says "The Pot's" in case it's not clear) really bothered the grammarian in me...

Don't you think it's strange not to have someone editing restaurant signs?

We then headed to the Orpheum Theater in SF for the 8pm showing of The Book of Mormon.

 

Thrifty and punctual (mostly) Asians as we were, we drove around theater to find the best deal on evening parking (which, for the record, was $15 at around 7th and Mission).

The show, while extremely irreverent and vulgar at times, was absolutely hilarious.  It tells the story of Mormon missionaries who go to Uganda and, written by the writers for South Park, was certainly, and by far, the funniest musical of all time.  Strange, but outrageously funny.

 (iPhone quality photos are certainly not the best quality. I'll always insist that K lug around the "nice" camera from now on)

And on our way back home we saw another strange sight: snow on the ground in California (which has actually lasted for more than a week!)

Did you do anything strange, but fun this weekend?
