so as you probably know from facebook, my birthday was on tuesday. this is what i did!
on monday night i celebrated with my family. my mom, dad, sam, krishna, nichola, matt, and i went to dinner at one of my favs, fritto misto. i opened my presents there and i got a really gorgeous dress from nichola, a book, cd, and shirt from my mom and dad, and from my mom, dad, sam, and krishna, i got 2 tickets (for me and matt) to go to the first day of coachella! also sam always stays at her friends house in palm springs, and invited matt and i to spend the night there and swim in the pool and partyyyy!!! it's gonna be amazing. they got the tickets for friday so i can see paul mccartney, and fulfill basically a lifelong dream of seeing him. i've never gone to coachella before and im so excited.
the next morning, i woke up at 5:30 and was on the road with matt at 6 am to an unknown destination. the sun started to get in my eyes and when i mentioned it matt pretended he was looking at his GPS and told me to close my eyes so i didn't see where we were headed, and something dropped in my lap. it was the ray bans i saw when we were shopping in santa barbara on valentines day!! i wanted them so bad and i had no idea he was going to get them for me. i was sooooo happy. i thought the trip was my whole present! hehe.
finally, we ended up in san diego and i was like "ARE WE GOING TO SEA WORLD!??!!??!?!?" YES. we ate breakfast and checked into our AMAZING studio hotel room. when we walked in and saw the full kitchen, matt said the reason he didn't tell me to bring any formal clothes for dinner was because he was going to cook! i was so happy i started to cry (see, what did i tell you). so then we went straight to sea world and had the best time. basically matt and i love water animals haha. the shows were so cool and so were the exhibits and aquariums. we left there around 3 and went shopping in the city for a little bit then went to the hotel to go in the hot tub and swim. dinner was my favorite kind of tortellini, and after that we relaxed and watched tv and went to bed.
the next day, we had strawberries for breakfast cause we woke up too late for the hotel buffet, and then checked out and didn't really know what to do next. we decided to go to the zoo and i loved it! the little monkeys were our favorite because there were two younger ones and they were playing and chasing each other and we watched them for so long. we walked through the entire zoo (its huge) and were sooo tired so we got in the car and came home! it was a really amazing birthday and i spent it with the right people. i only wish dev was here but she's coming back from paris in like a week.
