Today was a long day. Started with me picking up my parents at the airport, which was awesome! Didn't quite feel like a long time since we seen each other, but it was refreshing to see them again. We decided to have a light breakfast as it was still early in the day, at about 9:30am. We drove all the way to the Richmond district and have our meal at the Chinese Denny's on Geary. Food wasn't as good as before, but it was simple. After that, we got some fruits at the market where we parked. Drove home and helped them settle in.
Amos came home and we had lunch with him. Another light lunch, but at Ninki Japanese on Taraval. Just rolls and some fried oysters. Nothing special again. During lunch, we were talking about various topics including what to do with the van and what car to replace it with. We decided to drive over to City Toyota to look at our options, but not without Mom wanting to drop by Marco Polo's for a little dessert! It was warm today and ice cream did sound good. i went light and got a small jackfruit.
So we walked back and Mom asked for me to drive the Camry down to the bank where there's shade. That's fine. It really was too hot. Picking them up, we made our way to City Toyota and there we looked around. Just looking and trying and sitting in cars that could potentially be our replacement. Amos had his eye on the Corolla S, which isn't too bad...with leather. Hahaha! i was there to play around with the cars, but honestly, there isn't a whole lot to play around with. Just Camrys and Corollas, one Matrix, Tundra and Fj Cruiser. Nothing spectacular. We had someone help us with some information on deals that are currently available and run some numbers. i'll say this much, we spent a lot of time there.
After throwing the afternoon at the dealership, we went for an early dinner at that restaurant on Gellert. Whatever it's called. The Chinese one that Dad loves so much. Dad and Mom thought they were hungry, but mid-way through the meal, they realized that the hunger was short-lived. Mom thought they were used to Singapore-sized portions, but who knows.
Bellies full and ready to go, we went to Macy's at Serramonte to give Mom time to look at some dresses for the wedding. Nada for that place, but i found a good pair of slacks at a great price and Amos found a sweater. Dad was thinking about heading home to take a nap, so we drove him home and then drove Mom to the Macy's at Stonestown with hopes of finding something. Again, nothing much.
We wanted to drop by City Toyota again after that for reasons that some ought to interrogated Amos. Instead, we went to David's Bridal to try to look for something. Fortunately, we did and it took some time for Mom to pick something out. The unfortunate part is that David's Bridal doesn't work like Macy's and there is no return policy. That means this one has to work out and there be some alterations that are needed.
Went back to City Toyota after. What's going on? Drove home and chilled for a while. Another bit of wisdom for all you guys: Remember your promise and stand up for your wife! If not, stress will make a mess of things.
