Easter

This Easter weekend, Samantha and Erin came to visit.  In case you were wondering, the components of a successful sisters weekend are:

1. Snacks

After a strenuous morning of working out, Samantha demanded macaroni and cheese as soon as she and Erin arrived in Sacramento.  I failed a little bit in the snacks area because I ran out of Easter candy by the time Easter Sunday came around.

2. Movies

Hunger Games.  Yeah, we saw it again.  It's still really good.

3. Shopping

The Downtown Plaza Westfield Mall in Sacramento doesn't have a lot to offer, but after two shopping weekends in a row, my pink sparkly wallet (purchased during a sisters weekend) wasn't complaining.  Samantha did get some really cool pants for her paper doll though.

4. Nail painting

I had painted my nails gold on Thursday (Fun Friday came early last week because it didn't want to steal Good Friday's thunder), but Samantha and Erin took advantage of my gamut of nail polish.  I should really take a picture of my supply, but go ahead and picture an overflowing gallon Ziploc bag of nail polish.

5. Target

Target was closed on Easter, but we did take a trip to the parking lot.  Even though it didn't work out this weekend, it still deserves mentioning.  When I used to visit Samantha in Berkeley, we'd roam the aisles until we found something we needed, such as an ICEE.

6. Meal(s) sponsored by Dad

This Easter sisters weekend meal was brought to you by Dad, via Burgers and Brew.  We had salad, a bacon cheeseburger, a jalapeno bacon cheeseburger, lots of curly fries, and a BLT.  And a root beer and a regular beer.  And I ate everyone's pickles.
Also, not sponsored by Dad but still a great Easter brunch was had at Cafe Bernardo.  Fun fact: There are two Cafe Bernardos in Sacramento.  When Ben was meeting us on Sunday morning, we found this out the hard way.  We ate a ham and egg sandwich, yogurt with fruit, toast, breakfast burrito, and potatoes. We drank OJ, water, and a bloody mary.

7. Coffee

At Peet's!  Thanks Erin!

8. Swapping clothes

Because we can.  Samantha borrowed a shirt from me, and Erin left her jacket at my apartment.

9. Gossiping

Upon settling down for some bedtime Law and Order (how do we not have nightmares?  Instead we have wonderful dreams about one day getting jury duty), we decided we should gossip like normal sisters.  However, this turned into a discussion about why Erin should design UC Davis themed fake nails to sell at the Bookstore.
