Sunil and I went on what I termed a "hit and run" trip to California last weekend to celebrate his cousin, Sai's, upanayanam, or thread ceremony.
Highlights included seeing family, eating Pinkberry (apparently an only west coast treat), dinner in Palm Springs to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday, and of course the ceremony itself. We were greeted at the airport by Sunil's uncle, Ramesh and cousin, Priya and we definitely basked in the great sunny weather for awhile before heading to Riverside. We were greeted by a newly designed house- Ramesh Uncle and Suju Aunty revamped their decor with new curtains, paint, furniture and other accessories. When we walked in it definitely made a statement. That night we went to a sushi restaurant, good food, smallish portions, and caught up with everyone.
The ceremony was at the house, was lovely to see friends of family and eat good food. Definitely miss the Cali sunshine. . . After lunch, it was back to the gloom of Philly and the monotony of life. Ah, well, I guess that's why they call it vacation.
