This is the first birthday where my age freaked me out a little. I know I'm still young and I think the 30's will be great, but hitting the big landmark ages still makes you take stock a bit more than usual. But, I did have a great birthday weekend.
Saturday night Whit and I went to our birthday/Halloween party at Whit's parents' house. We all dressed up as fable/nursery rhyme characters. Eric was the Farmer from Farmer and the Dell, Carol was the Muffin Man, Chelsea and Grant were Goldilocks and Papa Bear, Brighton and Jordan were Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, Whit was the craziest little boy blue ever and I was Little Miss Muffet (you can't quite see in the picture, but I had spider bites all over). We had a great meal: chili, spider bread, cupcakes etc., we played games and watched a scary movie, Let the Right One In. Whit and I had seen the movie already, but we wanted everyone to see it, because it is a really cool Swedish vampire movie.
Sunday we had brunch with some friends at the Griddle - the hugest pancakes ever. Then Sunday night Whit and I headed to Anaheim. We had dinner at ESPN zone, shopped Downtown Disney, watched the fireworks poolside at our hotel, then just took it easy in our room.
Monday was Disneyland! We both got in for free as it was our birthday. Such a great promotion. It was a perfect day, great weather, small crowds, got on all the rides in no time. We had lunch at the Blue Bayou - we strayed from our usual Monte Cristo sandwich, Whit getting crab cakes and me a New York steak along with Mint Juleps, of course. It was a great day. No better way to spend the birthday than hanging out with Whitby in the happiest place on earth.
So, bring it on 30's.
