Let the Birthday Celebration Continue!

Of course Will didn't stop at a night out for dinner! We love going out on adventures to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and even just any old day! Will had made plans for us to go parasailing the Saturday after my birthday, but I was so sick we had to postpone it. Since we were so busy, we didn't have a chance to go until today. I had the day off for Veteran's Day, and Will took the day off as well, so we turned the day into another day of birthday celebrations! The first thing was a mimosa brunch at home. Then we were off to Waikiki for parasailing. It was an absolutely beautiful day.

A bumpy pano of Waikiki!

All strapped up and ready to go.



Will and I went up to 1000 feet high! It was pretty windy so we got a little shaken around, but that made it a fun, exciting trip. We got such awesome views and felt like we were on top of the world!

When we came back down, the captain asked if I would be willing to go again with a girl who was there on her own (She was visiting from Sydney with her Grandmother, who for obvious reasons didn't want to go parasailing). Of course I went along with her! Will got some pics while we were up.





After parasailing we came home to shower up, eat lunch, and then we went to see the new James Bond movie. Since it was a weeknight we caught the early show, and went out to a new restaurant for dinner afterward. We had a delicious autumnal meal at Livestock Tavern, however, we decided that a couple of our other "go-tos" remain at the top of our list.

Thanks to Will for an amazing birthday celebration! I guess now I can't keep saying it's my birthday anymore!

Happy Halloween!

Even though last year was technically Adeline's first Halloween, this year felt like the first true Halloween because we got to go out and enjoy the festivities! The Temescal Business District hosted a Trick-or-Treating event for the kids and had fun activities along the way like free books from the library, story time, a dance party at the yoga studio, costume contests, and more I'm sure but we only made it a few blocks! We had a great time and the businesses were so generous and kind to the kids. Our little ladybug! She would only wear the wings from her costume, but she held on to the wand and headband. There was a fun skirt, too but she didn't want anything to do with it. Oh well. People still thought she was cute! Getting some raisins. Still trying to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating! Dance party at the yoga studio. Aunt Mary's Cafe made fresh baked "Witches Fingers." Adeline loved hers but we got stuck in the B...

Happy Birthday Will!

No, today isn't Will's actual birthday, it's June 10th, but he is going to be in Hawai`i for a work trip, so we celebrated a little bit early today and made it into his birthday! Continuing with the theme of exploring new places with this beautiful weather, I drove Will out to Stinson Beach and Bolinas for the day. It's about an hour away, and again, thanks to being up early with Adeline, we pulled in and got a great parking spot right before the rush. It was such a gorgeous (but very windy, as in curvy, not strong wind) road! We started our day with brunch on the patio at Breaker's Cafe. We walked around the "town," all one block of it, and saw that there was live music at the other restaurant across the street, Sand Dollar Restaurant. (Yep, two restaurants!) We grabbed a seat and a drink and soaked up the beautiful weather. Adeline loved the music! And she even got a super cute onesie from one of the waitstaff! So cute she's getting free things ...

Play Time!

Our friends Nate and Emily gifted us this wonderful play gym that Adeline just loves! Today was her first day playing on it and she had such a good time holding on to and playing with the animals, watching the mobile on top and listening to the music, and even got in a little tummy time! Here's a video for you to click on:
