We celebrated Walt's 43rd birthday earlier this month. It was quiet and just our family. He got some hunting gear, which he picked out because only he knows just what he wants, and some barbecue tools.
Carley was covering his mouth because she didn't like that he was singing his own Happy Birthday song.
I made him his favorite cake. It's called Better Than Sex Cake - I'm sure there are other names but that's how I got the recipe in a speech class years ago. Layers of cake, pineapple, vanilla pudding, coconut and whip cream, mmmhmm.
Happy Birthday, Walt.

My friend, Christy, shares a birthday with Walt. Usually Wendy, Christy and I go wine tasting to celebrate our birthdays but lately we've been switching it up a little.
This year for Christy's birthday we decided to visit the King Tut exhibit that was showing in San Francisco at the
De Young Museum. It was fascinating. And VERY crowded.
Of course, no photos were allowed to be taken inside the exhibit.
After seeing the exhibit, we had a lunch of crackers, cheese and wine in the park.
We toured the majority of the De Young Museum. I'd never actually been to it before. It's a beautiful museum.
One of my favorite parts was checking out some of San Francisco from the observation tower.
For dinner we ate at
Park Chow, which was within walking distance from the park. The mood was relaxed and comfortable. The food was fabulous, mostly local and all sustainable or organic. Yum.
After dinner, we went back up into the observation tower to see the city at night. It was actually hard to see through the glass because of how bright it was inside. But we had a great time taking several of these reflection shots.
It was a terrific girls day away.
