As I write this, I have put Kairavi in the tub so that she can enjoy some water time in this heat. Temperatures sored across N. California and the talk everywhere was revolving around the heat.
How did you beat the heat this weekend? Staying at home (99 F being shown currently as inside house temperature), Catching a movie in AC, Going to the mall, Swimming Pool? etc.
Got baked at the KOJAIN picnic on Saturday but got redemption by visiting Boomerang Bay (Great America) water park on Sunday.
We had a Barbecue Party on Saturday and were barbecued ourselves…..
Went for shower every hour or two…..
Enjoyed the mist at (Jatin) Gada’s
We had gone camping on Sat in Petaluma and though it was hot there also, we had the swimming pool + water sprinklers for relief. Of course the swimming pool was crowded but it was fun just to be in water. In night we actually had to wear jackets. So it was extreme temperatures in day vs night.
On Sunday, stayed at home to beat the heat. Tried to spray some water in backyard (kutch style) in the hope of getting some cooler wind to blow into the home. (But unsuccessful of course).
In walmart you get this cool mist making bottle that you handpump and then open the valve to release a nice mist. One of the campers had got it and it was really nice in the hot day. Might be worth a look the next time that you visit Walmart.
For all you know the misbottles may be out of stock….most of the stores are out of fans and different cooling agents
We decided to stay home cool for most of the part except for running some inevitable errands.
Enjoyed the watermelon, cool Chhash and other coldies.
On Sunday evening a wide part of South San Jose had a power outage. So there we were in our patio hand fanning ourselves and our little one. (this very pretty handfan was purchased by me from the Korean airport; it was made full use of last night )
I was reminded of Mumbai where once the power comes back you hear happy loud yells from everyone’s houses and sometimes even fire crackers 🙂
Went for campign on Friday…Friday baked in the hot weather in Clear Lake State Park. It was hot as 110 degrees…became a little cooler after 2.00 AM until 6.00 AM…
Saturday were in the lake from 2-7PM to beat outside temp. of 102…
Sunday back to Bay area in the evening…Beat the heat by driving with AC on…:-)
