Looking Back at The Bay

This weekend, I went back and looked at every drive/flight/trip between SoCal and the bay since I’ve moved in 2013.

Here’s what I found:

2013:

August 29th, drove from FC to OC in my move to SoCal! (Jimmy later came down to visit, early November). 

November for Thanksgiving. Dan Liu came to stay. Definitely drove up & back with Jenn.

December (mid month), definitely. Not sure re fly or drive.

2 trips, at least 3 drives, 1 trip not sure.

December 10-14, for Christmas. Boat Christmas party. Eucalyptus Ave. Jenn was definitely home too. Giana and Janelly slept over one night. Went to that holiday party with Tina. Flew.

2016:

January, for New Year’s at Giana’s place with her, Sherry, Jessie, Janelly, Sherry, and Tina. Took that pic with Shemus. Not sure re fly or drive but I think I drove.

August 19-21, with Carina. She met dad! Went to the Buena Vista in the city. I also recall having some people over for a small barbecue but don’t have any pictures (I think Tommy Boyd was there, Jenna, and some other people). There was cornhole in the backyard. We drove.

October 5-9, to hang with Dad & Mom post-surgery and injury. Went to Target with Giana and Sherry and dressed up in random crap. Flew Virgin America.

(No family Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving this year was in SoCal. Christmas was in Riverside for the first time).  5 trips, at least 4 drives, at least 4 flights, 1 trip not sure.

2017:

January, for New Year’s. On the 2016 side of this, Dec 30th, I went to Lauren’s in Oakland and had some Christmas loaf. Celebrated New Year’s in Palo Alto with Giana, Sherry, and Carmen. Drove! Snow on I-5 on the way back! As of 6/8/20, this trip was the last time I drove by myself. Giana and Lauren later came down to visit, March 31st. We went out in Long Beach.

April 28-30, with Carina. She met mom! Went to SF the night we got there, with Giana and we got margaritas. We went for a walk around FC, and also hit Crystal Springs the day we flew back. Flew. I later got to see Giana in New York with Tommy Boyd, May 21st.

August 4-7, for OSU buds, Jenn & Brian’s announcement, and Giana’s going away party. Lauren was at Giana’s thing. Flew.

August 25-28, went again for Mom & Dad’s birthdays. Dad & I re-did my old bedroom (and also hit the pool at the Four Seasons). New corner of the backyard was finally done. Flew.

October 20-23, with Dan & Chrystal. Dad had the new four-chair setup in the living room. Definitely flew JetBlue, LGB-SFO. Lauren later came down for Halloween (Scooby Doo group outfit).

November 23-27, for a combined Thanksgiving & Christmas. Ate a lot on this trip and kept passing out as a result, lol. While Carina was in the desert with her family, Hector bit Caiba. Flew.

6 trips, 2 drives, 10 flights.

2018:

January, for New Year’s with Carina. On Dec 30, 2017, went to Palo Alto with Carina, Giana, and Sherry. Dad later came to SoCal for Kinsley’s arrival. Mom also moved to SoCal on New Year’s. Flew.

March 16-19, with Jesse, Katie and Carina for St. Patrick’s Day! Drove up with J&K (I was passenger) and flew back (via JetBlue, SFO). As of 6/8/20, this was the last trip with any driving involved.

June 20-25, Giants game, big barbecue in the backyard, pride at the park. Blue Jell-O shots at my bbq courtesy of Giana and Sherry. Got to see both Giana and Lauren at my house on June 21st. Flew.

August 8-12, to help dad after surgery. Didn’t really see friends as Dad was the focus but did see Giana and Jessie at Giana’s aunt’s place. Flew.

August 17-20, went again for Nicole’s wedding. Boat ride with Carina, Jimmy, Brian, Kirsten, Monique, and Amber. Going away party for Giana at her Aunt’s house (with Carina, Lauren, Jessie, Sherry, and Giana’s friend Zach). I believe this was the last time Giana, Lauren and I were all together. Fun day going around SF with Carina while it was kind of cold/rainy (we took pictures by the painted ladies then went to a small coffee shop). Flew.

November 26-27, sort of, just for a day after Iceland as an extended layover/ between flights. Just one night. Thanksgiving had been in Iceland with Carina and her mom.

December 7-10, for Christmas. Kinsley kept us up all weekend. Flew LAX-SFO on Southwest. (Then Dad later came to SoCal in Jan for Kinsley’s one year bday party and we went to dinner in Laguna for my bday and our engagement).

7 trips (or 6, kind of), 1 drive (on the way up only), 11 flights.

2019:

May 2-5, to visit Dad after surgery. Buena Vista with Lauren. I think we went for vegan Mexican food beforehand. Got to meet Brian’s dog Ruby at Brian’s place in FC. Flew SNA-SJC on Alaska. 

June 28 - July 1, with Carina and saw lots of friends at the bar night in San Mateo (Giana, Jessie, Janelly, Brian, Monique, Jimmy). Small backyard BBQ with just Jimmy and Giana (and we made those frozen Oreo pops). Flew SNA-SJC. Brian and Monique later came down to Laguna for the 4th of July.

September 12-15, just for the weekend for Carina’s launch party. Dad had redone the TV room at the house (by the kitchen). I ran the Golden Gate with Lauren the morning of, and got to see her the night before, too (where we hung out in Oakland and a creepy dude lurked outside her place). After the chunk of time with Lauren, I had a super nice time in the city with Carina. Her launch party on Treasure Island was fun, and the next day we had a full day of walking around and exploring the city. We stayed at the Palace Hotel, and went to Sweet Maple for brunch. Awesome all the way around. It was a gorgeous day and one for the books. Definitely flew SNA-OAK, SFO-SNA. (Then Dad later came down to Laguna in October, Oct 18-20). Also later got to see Lauren in Oceanside on November 17th.

(No family Thanksgiving; I believe JBK went up, but I stayed back to see Mom on Thanksgiving day then host Thanksgiving dinner at Katella with Carina’s family). 3 trips, all flying.

2020:

January 17-19, for my birthday, with Carina. Saw lots of friends (Brian, Jimmy, Monique, Amber, Russ, Chris Tham, Jessie, Gal). Fun night in the city with all of them. And then HMB with Lauren and Carina. Flew SNA-SJC on Alaska. Dad later came down a week later for Kinsley’s 2nd birthday.

1 trip so far, all flying.
