Fancy Shmancy
I would never classify Riley and I as "High Class" by any stretch of the imagination. I mean, not even close. Ya know, we enjoy dates to In N Out, trips to the hardware store, and driving old beat up trucks (which is at the moment broken AGAIN). But every once in awhile, through Riley's work, we seem to experience these crazy upscale, out of this world things which totally blow both of us away. Last night was one of those times. We were given tickets to an amazing charity auction/dinner that honored two golf legends, Jim Langley, and Arnold Palmer. The tickets price per head? $750! and it was held in one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever been in, The San Francisco City Hall. The event also recruited San Francisco's only 5 star chef, and we were served things such as caviar, fillet Mignon and amazing wine, and seated at a table with some of the most powerful men in the world (I sat next to and talked it up all evening with a 4 star Admiral, a member at Cypress Point). After our dinner, there was dancing and the most amazing dessert Bar (of course I had to take a picture!) , and at the conclusion of the evening, we were given a bottle of wine in a leather carrying case and a framed/matted picture of the two legends. It was a great night to say the least, but I will have to say, I sure didn't mind kicking my high heels off the second they hit the floor of our Toyota, getting a coke in a Jack in the Box drive through on the way home, and loading our two pajama wearing, fast asleep rugrats into the car at the end of the night... It sure is fun to dress up and be fancy every now and then, but its good to be back in my blue jeans.
