Ladies Night

It was ladies night on Saturday when we went out for Rana's Bachelorette party in San Francisco.  Mind you I haven't been to a club in YEARS and I wasn't sure how it would turn out.  Especially since it was also Fleet Week here - where all the Navy ships are in town and showing off their stuff.

We went to Infusion Lounge near Market and Powell (Union Square area).  Everyone drove while I took BART - since I needed to be responsible the next morning and watch my 4 year old so Dave could usher at church.

We started by having dinner at the club...

L-R: Jamie, Me, Leticia, Rana (the bride-to-be) Deanne, Korina, Denise (the matron of honor), and Tiffany

Getting started with dinner.  L-R: Korina, Deanne, Rana, Me, Jamie, Denise, Tiffany, Leticia

Bet you haven't been to a club where penguins were also the guest of honor! 
It was a special event night at this club, with their annual Signature Black Event.

So I didn't get any pictures of dinner, but I had to take a picture of dessert. As one of the girls said.. "I'd take this over a ding dong any day".

Ready to get our groove on:
L-R: Korina, Rana, (in back) Denise, Leticia, (in front) Me, Deanne, Jamie (Tiffany only stayed through dinner).

Once they opened up the dance floor (which had to be cleared from dinner) I spotted a pair of Marines.  I had to get a few guys for Rana to pose with.  You know someone else in uniform - other than my police officer brother/her betrothed.

They were good sports, posed and were out of there.  Unlike the next group of gentleman.

I found 3 Navy guys who weren't used to seeing the ladies while out to see.  And since it was Fleet Week and all - they were ready for some "attention".

They were nice, but one in particular was hoping to get "lucky" I think.  Mind you all but I think 2 of us were married - the other two are engaged.

It was a fun night!  I was a little bummed to have to leave just as the party was getting started, but responsibility called.  The boys are going out for their bachelor party on Saturday. I doubt Dave will share his photos ;)

Ladies Night

It was ladies night on Thursday - my brother's girlfriend, my sister, my mom and I all enjoyed some time together at Hannah Nicole winery in Brentwood.

One Thursday a month is dedicated to the girls. On one side of the winery you hear the whoops and yelling from all the bunco playing ladies. And then on the other side, the much more calming and "sophisticated" sounds of the ladies sitting around.

Guess which side we were on?

Why yes, the "sophisticated" side.

It was great, we just caught up on the past few weeks... and you know chatted. It was kind of nice, we all tried different glasses and had "tasters". Turns out that starting next month the Thursday night Girls Night Out turns into Tuesday nights. We'll have to do it again!
