Birthday fun.
So, another b-day has come and gone. Lauren and I went to San Francisco for our birthday. (for those who don't know Lauren and I share the same birthday. (May 2nd)) We spent the weekend with Laurens sister Heather.
We had a great time and Heather went out of her way to try and make our stay fun. Constantly looking up places to go and things to do. We visited Napa and went wine tasting, went to several bars and restaurants, including a champagne bar called The Bubble Lounge.
If you are ever in San Francisco, I definitely recommend checking this place out.
Lauren and I found a new champagne we really enjoy called Iron Horse. We drink champagne pretty often amazingly, it's nice to jump in the hot tub with a bottle every now and then. We normally get "J" which is a great brand of champagne and I highly recommend it. We are now in search of a local supplier of Iron Horse, unfortunately our liquor store down the street (who know us by name now... it's a sad state of affairs.) don't carry it. A trip to BevMo! (The costco of alcohol) might be necessary to locate it.
On saturday we went to a shwanky dinner at a restaurant called the Boulevard. We felt like doing something a little crazy and eating a nice dinner. The food was definitely amazing. However, you do pay heftily for it.
After being seated at our table, Lauren noticed that Jesse Martin (of Law and Order fame) was sitting at the table right next to ours. After a little while I also noticed that Taye Diggs (Brown Sugar, Ally McBeal) was sitting with his back to Heather. She could have literally elbowed him. Also present at their table was Taye's wife Idina Menzel and two other important looking people who we couldn't ID.
At the end of our meal, the waiter brought Lauren and I our deserts with candles in them and then promptly went back to work. At this point the side of the restaurant we were sitting in had pretty well cleared out other than Jesse Martin and our table. The slightly intoxicated stars proceeded to sing us happy birthday all on their own without prompting. Heather was smart enough to bust out her camera and begin to record video of our reaction and the audio captured the stars singing for us. At one point you hear Taye ask his wife "Uhh, it is their birthday right?" reconsidering what we were celebrating since we BOTH got deserts with candles.
A crazy weekend for sure. It's definitely a birthday I won't forget. Thanks again to Heather for making the weekend so enjoyable.
Anyhow, I'm bantering on and on so I think I will sign off now. However, isn't that what a blog is really for anyhow?
My birthday resolution is to update my blog at least every other day. People actually commenting on my posts letting me know that someone is reading this would definitely go a long way in increasing my motivation.
Cheers.
