Samer Graduation 2011 writeup

On Saturday, we left at 11.00 am for Pleasant Hill where our hotel is. I found a deal on Priceline.com where 2 connecting suites, we made good time, even stopped at Casa de Fruta where Choozo had fun throwing pebbles in a pond and looked at fishes and duckies. We browsed at the candy store and the fruit stand, after that, we arrived at out hotel, Residence Inn Marriot Pleasant Hill Concord. The room is has a fully equipped kitchen, breakfast counter, dishwasher, full size fridge, microwave oven, electric stove and most of all, a huge big screen tv. The kids took a nap which is mandatory, or else, I have two sleep-deprived brats on my hands.

We arrived at the restaurant, from a short drive, to Alborz at Walnut Creek. The persian restaurant serves great food, loved their chicken & minced beef kebabs and I even took a bite of leg of lamb, it was not gamey which is very nicely done. The herbal rice was fantastic and the eggplant appetizer was delicious. To end the meal, we had chocolate cake from Whole Foods, which was to Die for!!! I meant it-to die for!
