30 year HS reunion

George Washington High School 30-year reunion, had a great turnout. It was so special to connect with old classmates.  Unfortunately, we have lost a few classmates to cancer. I don't take for granted that we can all meet to share old memories and catch up on life. We all enjoyed it so much; can't wait for our 35th reunion.  Will do it every 5 years so we don't stop recognizing each other. 

Go class of 1996 Eagles!  

Haven't seen each other in a while, so nice to catch up on life and reminisce about our high school days. 

Besties throughout middle and high school ... thanks for helping plan our reunion!  Grateful for all the memories we have shared over the past 32 years! 

August Wang Siblings dinner. This was stop number 2. I love hanging out with my siblings.  We get home around midnight because we don't want the night to end.

Great to catch up.  

FFF - Foodie Fun Friday AYCE @ Happy Lamb ... we were all happy campers; we all ate so much. 

My bestie from when I studied abroad in Japan was in town for the Pokémon convention in SF. We had such a great time sharing old memories of when I was an exchange student in Japan.  Kaori took such good care of me when I was a lost US student who didn't speak much Japanese 27 years ago!

Mark worked off a lot of calories playing pickleball with old buds, then quickly gained it all back and then some, from dim sum lunch.

Teddy had some teeth extracted last week and was a bit out of it, but he's doing much better now. 

Mari and her buddy went to Daniel Caesar's concert in SF. Girls had a great time sans parents. 

The boys had a dinner date to celebrate Ethan's start of junior year on Monday and Tyler's 1st car, a 2014 Honda Prius. He's having fun zipping around. Ethan was his very first passenger.
