After we returned home from San Francisco, it was time to get back to reality.  And I’m never ready for that.  But to get me through the adjustment, we had a few more fun things on the schedule.

Tati Lara surprised Paul and I with DMB tickets for the Hollywood Bowl.  She said “Happy Anniversary!”, provided the babysitting and sent us on our way.  It was awesome.

I got to photograph two of my favorite friends from olden times within a couple days of each other.  I loved seeing them and their families now that we’re all growns up.  I will have those up on Photography by Jaana in the next couple weeks I hope.

Paul and I were lucky enough to be invited to a real life Hollywood pre-Emmy party!  The night before the Emmys, the History Channel hosted a shin-dig at the Soho House to honor The Hatfields & McCoys mini-series that got so much recognition.  Since Paul worked on the documentary, we got to attend.  It was exciting.  And I was nervous in my sparkly dress.  I haven’t worn heels in a really long time, and my pinky toe was numb for like 3 days after this.

Lastly, we topped it all off with our trip to Napa Valley.  But that gets it’s own post.  Coming up!

Maybe I’ll never fully adjust to reality…
