Look who's 29!


June 4th was Chad's 29th birthday! He has been lucky enough to turn this into a birthday week (who wouldn't?).
Sunday he had his first birthday dinner at my parents house, where he had pepper steak and texas sheet cake!
His birthDAY was great too! He had a teriffic day of being spoiled. He had a fantastic time at lunch with his coworkers at Mexicali Rose in Oakland. Then we went out to dinner at Luna's with his family.
Besides the toothbrush, hat, and shoes, I wasn't exactly sure what to do for his special birthday treat. I emailed some friends, and they gave me GREAT ideas of where we could go for day trips. I gave him a choice between these ideas, and he picked Half Moon Bay. We are going to go tomorrow to celebrate his last year of being in his 20's (Are we really this old?).
I wanted to post the wonderful ideas that he was able to pick from. We are hoping to complete the list by the end of the summer. If any seem interesting to you, please come with us.

Some options for your special birthday celebration:

1. Half Moon Bay-
We can cruise and hike around Half Moon Bay, checking out the beautiful scenery. We can go to the Four Season and/or Ritz Carolton and have a drink, stop by some of the small wineries, and then enjoy an early dinner at Moss Beach Distillery.

2. Sonoma-
We can head to Sonoma for the day and walk around the shops. We can stop by the wineries for a wine tasting, go to the El Dorado for a drink near their fire place, and then head to La Salette in Sonoma Plaza for dinner.

3. SF/Oakland-
We can head to the vodka bar on the water in Oakland to enjoy a drink, then cruise the bay over to San Francisco, where we can site see around the city before we head off to dinner at Myth.

4. Crockett-
We can spend the day in the East Bay, going on a hike with little Mapes. Then we can head to Crockett to have dinner at the Dead Fish. After dinner we can go to American Family and have a dip in the spa and/or a massage.


A big thank you to all my wonderful friends who gave me fantastic ideas for Chad's birthday. I am so lucky to have such amazing friends in my life!
