Weekend at Home

This weekend I went home to NJ to spend Father's Day with my parents. It was a ton of fun, though also exhausting. I drove down on Saturday morning, and we had lunch at our favorite Szechuang restaurant, whose food is so spicy that it always made my stomach upset afterwards, but soooo yummy! After that, parents and I walked around in the Princeton campus near our house, and eventually went to a coffee shop that some famed writers and members of the literati frequented. Dad had a cappucino, while I had a latte. Yum.

For Father's Day, I got my parents a "cactus garden." Here's a photo of it taken by my dad. I got it at Costco with Boyfriend and actually got one for myself as well because it's so pretty I have always wanted to give my parents a plant, but they don't really know how to take care of them. So a cactus garden is the perfect solution. My parents loved it.



The weather just started getting hot this weekend, so walking around outside was not as pleasant as it could have been. After escaping to the coffee shop, we went home and drank some refreshing white wine that I picked out from a wine store near my parents' townhouse.

We spent the whole night talking about my experiencces in law school and at my internship, all of which my parents found fascinating. (My dad actually taped me speaking so he and Mom could review the notes later and possibly even write an article about it or two.)

The next day, we went shopping, and Mom and I each got a Zohari Petite suit. It would serve as my birthday present. Afterwards, we went strawberry picking at a local farm. The temperature was 95 degrees and it was very hot in teh afternon, and I got way tan, but it was SO MUCH FUN. Here's a photo of our crop.



I drove back from Jersey this morning and after a few mishaps, didn't get into work until nearly 11 AM. I was also so tired that I left very early, and then took a 4-hour nap as soon as I got home. Have just gotten up now and have been watching TV. Life is good.

:D a lot of strawberries in my fridge.
:( 100% humidity today.
