Happy 5th Birthday!

 We love you!

I'm 35

My birthday came and went. And I loved it. I just had my last birthday dinner. I had an ACUTAL birthday: went to lunch at the Sideboard with Rich and Dayne, stopped by Barnes and Noble and bought 2 books and then went to the movies that night.  My house was attacked with hearts and so was the front yard. Fantastic!

CityI

I really have a thing for good cheeseburgers. Seriously. I love finding a new burger that I love. And I love Gott's burgers. We ate there during our city weekend.  We had not been there in over a year and they were still as good as I remembered. 

Christmas in the City

Our City adventure continued. We ate our favorite food court for dinner. 

It was a beautiful and warm evening. All the windows were decorated. The tree in Union Square was amazing. 

December 2nd 2011

This Holiday season I felt desperate to travel or have a little adventure. Last year when we did our favorite Gilroy Gardens we got a hotel at the end of the night. This year we couldn't work the GG trip so we came up with another plan.

I love San Francisco. Truly. And I love the Christmas decorations throughout the city. Every year we go in during the day and check it all out. This year we decided to stay in the city. 

First up, our hotel. It was funky and really beautiful. Who knew a nautical theme could be cool?

A Lunch

We were having one of those days. Where we just didn't want to do anything. This was over Thanksgiving break, so we could do nothing. ALL. DAY. LONG.

Lunchtime came. I didn't go to the store, remember we were doing nothing. I bought this ABC pasta in Austria and have been ignoring it. So I cooked the small letters and browned some butter.  The kids loved it! Even better when we found their names!

Crewe

Crewe earned his BOBCAT in Cub Scouts. We are proud of him.  And he was thrilled with himself. Way to go Boy Scout!
