If we just took Burnside....



Yeah, I know, this should be a post about egg nog, tinsel, Santa Claus, and sugar cookies, but LOR-dy, did we ever have a not so lovely experience today (but the lunch was really good!). So, we are on our way to our annual office holiday lunch here and I am being an oh so good back seat driver giving H directions* to the US Bancorp building (take the Sunset Hwy, turn L here, take this street, etc.) when we get to Oak and holy smokers, there are at least 4 SWAT team members with MACHINE GUNS approaching a citizen and hollering, "Stop right there." I am all, "Hit the floor" (to avoid random gunfire) and H puts it in reverse and gets us out of the area. That's one of those moments where you are all, "is this really happening?" Yup, it was real. Ummm, of course we are all a bit shell shocked at lunch, and I suggest, "Perhaps they were just shooting a movie?" It did seem like a scene out of a movie......
*Ok, so tonight we recap the experience and H says, "If we just took Burnside like I originally thought, we would have avoided the whole thing." Ha! But would we have this good of a story?
Ooh, I should add a picture, because as we all know pictures are worth a thousand words....., of course, I don't have pic of the afternoon drama, but here are a couple of good ones (of my darling drama queen's 9.5 birthday celebration....in case you are wondering, Fenway always sits like that on the stairs. It's bizarre, we call it Fenway Style.):
