Going To Gilroy!

Steve and I will be heading up to Gilroy this weekend. Gilroy is(was) a small town, population 49,000. It's where I was raised and where most of my family lives. Everytime I go back to visit, some new store or restaurant chain is opening. They now have a Target AND a Super Walmart, not to mention Mimi's Cafe, Barnes & Noble and over 140 outlet stores (Coach, Ralph Lauren & Banana Republic are my fav). Gilroy is also known for GARLIC! Every summer they host the largest three day Garlic Festival.

One weekend in July the town population doubles and you open your front door to the stench of the stinkin' rose. It's a high school reunion, everyone comes into town. Unfortunately Steve and I are going to miss it this year. Luckily I will be able to see old high school and college friends this Saturday. My mom and dad are hosting a night of dinner and dancing for Steve and I, and some 100 or so family and friends that were unable to make it to our ceremony in Laguna Beach. My dad has been planning a special night for Steve and I. He pretty much said all we have to do is show up looking pretty and shake a leg. Can't wait! Pictures of the night will be posted soon.
