Jacobs 24th birthday!

What a fun/interesting last few days we have had!


Today was Jacobs 24th birthday but we actually started celebrating on Monday:) Jacob is not so into the whole birthday thing ("im turning 24 not 4" in his words) anyone that knows me knows that i am always up for a celebration! As I look back at the past few days i just have to laugh at how things turn out...

All the madness started a few days ago after we finished our week of work and both of us were ready to enjoy our nice long three day weekend together! Monday we went to Sonoma Valley and enjoyed the beautiful gardens and yummy cheese factory:) it was a lovely day for the most part and we had a nice day together.

Tuesday was a little bit more exciting. We decided to go a giants game, thats what Jacob really wanted to do for his birthday so we got some cheap tickets and went in to the city to enjoy the day. as it would turn out it ended up being very windy and very cold! We tried to walk to chinatown and check that all out but we ended up getting a bit turned around so decided to head to the stadium instead. Turns out its a good thing that we did, if anyone reads the newspaper they were bringing in the olympic torch through san francisco today and i guess there were hundreds of angry protesters that got a head start on the torch! Glad we didnt get in the middleof that! So we shared some snuggles in the car and bundled up to head to our game.
AT&T park is huge and beautiful. What a cool stadium, one side of it is directly up against the bay so you can see out into the ocean and last year when Bonds was breaking the record there would be kayaks all over in front of the stadium trying to catch homerun balls:) How fun, dont even get me started on Barry Bonds though... thats a whole other topic!

There was lots of good advice throughout the stadium:)

We couldnt believe how cold it was! Oh goodness we were all bundled up with winter coats and blankets! we never thought we would go to a baseball game in California and freeze! I guess next weekend its suppossed to be in the 80s.... of course it is!

Jacob in front of the field... They ended up winning 3-2 against the Padres. It even went into the 11th inning. Unfortunately the bitter cold drove us home before that:(

So today was the actual birthday. We went to Fairfield to continue the house seach and looked at a few places. Nothing too spectacular today but its always good to look! We met a group of our friends at Red Robin for some dinner. Kelly and Carissa got jacob some good birthday stuff:)

He even had to wear a pin that said "Happy Birthday to Me!" and he let the red robin people sing to him without getting too angry. Our night finished unfortunately with a flat tire... but i guess thats how it goes sometimes. Now we are home and ready to head back to work for another week:)
