It\u2019s the first signs of Spring coming and the weather is wonderful. Saturday was probably around the low-80\u2019s at the high and Sunday was even better in the low-90\u2019s is my best meteorological guess.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday we went out to get some household essentials but also some plants and herbs. Although we picked up a few herb plants, some of the stuff we want is a bit more particular especially if you\u2019ll be eating the stuff (al la..herbs). We thought it was best to call it a day on Saturday and then head down to a local plant and garden specialty place on Sunday. I don\u2019t think the stuff at the specialty place was any better and way more expensive. I think if you want quality then you have to grow it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>After the essentials shopping and plant\/herb store we decided to head and get some lunch at this place we saw recently on the History Channel\u2019s \u201cMan vs. Food\u201d. The place is called Iguanas and their gigantic burrito is called the \u201cBurritoZilla\u201d. It\u2019s 18 inches and 5 pounds of Burrito gluttony! The atmosphere of the place was fun because it was tightly integrated into the college lifestyle and atmosphere. It\u2019s on the San Jose State University campus. Brandee was observant to the fact that after ordering our food and taking our seat, nearly every patron in the place was staring (and very obviously so) at us while we tried to dine on this mammoth burrito. As much as we tried to inflict damage to this 18\u201d BurritoZilla, we only managed to finish about 2 total inches and less than a half-pound, leaving 16\u201d and 4.4 pounds of meat, beans and cheese to go. We brought the thing back and cut it into four full-size servings then froze them into bags as leftovers.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday we spent the day getting some additional planting supplies at Home Depot, went to Hooter\u2019s for lunch, then came home to clean and open the pool for the season. Brandee loves to go to Hooter\u2019s more than me. Before the place was open and still under construction last year I jokingly suggested that we go there as we drove by. She was quite open to the idea and ready to go. I wasn\u2019t really shocked but I was surprised at her level of enthusiasm to go. Now nearly every time we are in the Campbell area on the weekend; yep, it\u2019s the Hooter\u2019s we go! We really enjoy \u201cpeople watching\u201d in the place and especially how the girl\u2019s treat the male clientele versus the female customers. It\u2019s comic relief.<\/p>\n<p>Our pool isn\u2019t anything fancy but it\u2019s a great relief when the temperature gets hot and it\u2019s nice to take a cool dip. The pool is an above ground type that is 18 feet around and four feet deep. It\u2019s certainly enough to float around in and be lazy. Earlier this week it was getting into the low-90 degree temperatures so we got to enjoy the water.<\/p>\n<p>Overall it was a great, enjoyable, relaxing weekend and a fantastic kick-off to Spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend was fun.
