It feels good to be 40!
I had a great weekend and great birthday
celebration. Dawny landed from Spokane
on Thursday evening. I picked her up,
then Kenyon, and we headed to dinner at Tucanos. Oh…yummm… Dawny’s birthday is October 11th
so we had a belated celebration for her.
As I had shared yesterday, turning my sleep around
from my previous graveyard shift was rough.
I was up for several hours during the night and running on very few
hours of sleep, none of which was real quality.
Since Dawny is an early bird, I powered through so we could make the most
of her vacation. Friday we had breakfast
at LePeep followed by a trip to Zurchers to pick up some balloons for the
party. I was pretty much squared away
for my evening gathering so we spent the day at Indian Creek Plaza in
Caldwell.
I’ve not been down to the plaza in a while. We walked around popping into Flying M Coffee
and Good Spoon for some frozen yogurt.
We finished off with some pizza buffet at Flying Pie Pizza in Nampa.
I grabbed a quick nap and then it was time for
party mode. The Prost To 40 Oktoberfest
Party was a blast. What amped it up to
the next level was jello shots that Stacey brought and peach schnapps that
Patty brought. My Mom and my Aunt Gerri
did shots with us. It was awesome. I didn’t take many photos during the party though,
darn it.
Sunday we had breakfast at Jo Mamma’s, which had
the biggest pancakes ever. We really
loved our omelets and home fries too.
We headed to The Village to meet up with Phoenix
and the kids for a truck or treat event.
Sadly, the weather on Saturday was windy and cold. We wrapped that up and popped into some of
the shops at the Village.
Dawny left her “Spokane painted rock” for
somebody to find. We checked back later
and it had been claimed. So neat.
I had purchased us tickets to see Hocus Pocus as
part of the Boise Classic Movies event at The Egyptian. It is always a fun event since they have
costume contests before the show. The
cutest little boy dressed as Edwards Scizzorhands won one of the prizes. Too cute.
We met back up with Kenyon for dinner at Golden Corral and then
proceeded to roll into bed and pass out.
I was exhausted.
With Dawny’s last day of vacation being Sunday,
it was low key as it was another cold and windy day. We went to breakfast at Sunrise Café and then
hung out on the couch and visited. We
decided on lunch at Red Robin and dessert at The Cheesecake Factory.
It was an excellent time and I am so glad Dawny
was able to come visit.
