a look back


I had a great birthday last weekend. We planned to go to Monterey on Sat. with both sides of the fam. Everyone flaked out on us so we almost stayed home. I'm so glad we didn't! We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, ate delicious seafood at Jack's Bar & Grill on Cannery Row, and made it to the beach to see a beautiful sunset. My parents came too and stayed overnight for a belated anniversary trip. It was nice to spend time together out of Fremont. Thanks Mom and Dad for your help with the chillies and for the scrumptious dinner!

Little J was SO FUNNY when the server brought out the crab dinner that Mom and I were going to share. She took one look at the plate and went into fits. "Is that a REAL crab? You're going to EAT that? EWWWWWWW. That's so DISGUSTING!" She went on and on. Fast forward to 10 minutes later when she got brave enough to try some and J wouldn't stop eating crab. "MMMMMMMM this is delicious. I love crab. Can I have some more?" were the next words coming out of her mouth. Between the 3 of us we polished off a half a crab in no time. We can't wait for our annual family crab feed in November.

The Aquarium was fun- a little crazy with 3 small chillies but we managed with some extra help from Grampy and Grammy. I totally splurged and used some b-day money to buy a membership for the year. We will be visiting the Aquarium (and seafood restaurants a lot) and I'm excited about that!
