Yes, that is the birthday I just celebrated.....my 33rd. Wow.
But, I had a great few days celebrating my birthday! The boys did a great job of taking care of me!
The night of my birthday we went out for dinner/drinks w/ my co-worker, Chris. We had a great time enjoying the lovely weather on the patio (low 70s for those that are wondering) :) Friday night, Greg and I went into Beverly Hills for a nice dinner. I guess due to the holiday weekend, the 405 (the worst freeway in the world) was clear, which was great and so not LA! We ate at Spago, it's a Wolfgang Puck owned restaurant. It was amazing! We heard that this was the place to see some celebrities but we didn't see anyone that we recognized.
Afterwards, we went to BOA, another restaurant, to grab a drink. This place was packed! The paparazzi were waiting outside. I saw a few pictures being snapped but I didn't recognize anyone....dang. My boss and I have this running joke - he always sees someone famous on his flights (even going to the most random places) and I never see anyone - just reality tv stars, but he says they don't count. haha!
I had a 4 day weekend for the 4th of July - it was greatness! On Sunday I had some girlfriends come over to the house for a cookout. One I work w/ now, some I used to work w/, as well as a few of their friends. It was great! I haven't really had much girl time since we moved. I think Greg was on estrogen overload but he let us have our fun - and he fed us some amazing pulled pork sliders too!
For the 4th, we rode our bikes to Hermosa - that was a mistake! It was complete craziness! In fact, as we were walking our bikes on the strand, a huge crowd was coming our way. We soon found out that it was a band being pushed along on a platform as they were performing, or should I say screaming into their microphones - yes a band! Again, I can't even explain the craziness we saw! Oh well, they were all having fun - pretty sure they didn't feel so great the next morning. :)
Carson didn't make it to see the fireworks. They started at 9pm and he was out by 8:30pm. So, Greg and I sat on our front porch and watched the fireworks. In fact, we were able to see about 10 different shows. It was great! Maybe next year Carson will be able to watch with us. I think we found a firework show pretty close to the house at Malaga Cove - they shoot them off of a barge in the ocean. Sounds good to me!
