I had a great 22nd birthday. Here is how it went....
Steve presented me with a beautiful birthday cake at 12:02am, the exact minute I was born.
He had made it entirely by himself, and it was beautiful. Two layers of fluffy vanilla cake with chocolate frosting. It tasted just as good as it looked. And he did all that detail using just a ziploc bag with a little hole cut in the tip!!!
We wanted to take a lot of photos of it before we ate it, because of its prettiness. YAY CAKE!
We got up early (for us) on Saturday morning and went over to the movie theater to watch Ratatouille! It was so cute! And as always with Pixar, brilliant and beautiful. We got lunch at Jack in the Box (that's what I wanted) and then headed over to the mall for some shopping. That wore us out, so we came home and watched a couple of episodes of "Planet Earth" (so neat!) before heading out again for another adventure...
We drove up the 101 in search of fun & food.
We passed the Del Mar Fairgrounds...
...and ended up at Grandview Beach, the beach we went to for our wedding photos. Those are my birthday-toes in the water. The tide was so high that the water was almost touching the cliffs behind us.
Steve started frolicking in the water.
It was so warm that he decided to go for a spontaneous swim.
Only problem with that was that he ended up soaking wet, and with no change of clothes.
He tried to wring out his pantlegs, but that wasn't too successful.
I gave him a kiss, even though it was MY birthday. (So he should have given me one, right?)
We had dinner at this delicious bakery on the 101 called St. Tropez Bakery. We sat outside and munched on sandwiches. There was a lot of good people watching there, and also a live jazz band out in the plaza, so we had a really nice time. We were going to head down to ColdStone, but got sidetracked by how dirty the car was and headed to...
The CAR WASH!!! (We're in it. See the windows?)
It terrified Steve.
After the car wash we did make it over to ColdStone, where I cashed in my coupon for a free "Love It" size (medium) chocolate icecream with gummy bears & brownies mixed in. We shared it. Speaking of, you can sign up for a FREE COLDSTONE BIRTHDAY ICE CREAM at their website!!! YAY!

Question:
Did you survive the car wash?
(The music was both compelling and entertaining)
Answer:
BARELY.
(the music was just what happened to be playing in the car: Copa Cabana)
No way!! I thought that you had put on the "Car Wash" disco song in your post-production editing. Good call. Hooray for latin music!
P.S. Rach and I went through a car wash today and thought of you guys.
P.P.S. Oops, Rach was still signed in and I wrote on her account. This is Kevin . . . Rachel does not have a split personality.
Jamie, It looks like you had a great time on your birthday. Steve, I am very impressed with the cake that you made for Jamie, you have come a long ways since your pink food coloring days for Emily's birthday cake??!!!?? Love you both!!!!
