My Birthday, Our anniversary, and Mother's Day!

It's always a bit busy this time of year when my birthday, our anniversary, and Mother's Day, all fall in the same week. I had a great time!

For my birthday we met neighbors Pattie & Charlie for breakfast at our favorite "Curbside Cafe". Then for a little treat Rick and I took a leisurely drive up to Mt Palomar to see the observatory. It was a beautiful San Diego day and just nice for a drive. Julian has cycled up here but we have not even driven up before! We also stopped by Pala Casino and had a little lunch at the Noodles restaurant. Thanks to everyone for the phone calls and birthday greetings!

For our 33rd anniversary, we spent the night on Coronado, and checked out a few areas we were not familiar with. We enjoyed lunch in San Diego's Little Italy, while we waited for Julian to fly in on Friday night. It was his first trip here since starting his job at Intuit 500 miles north in Mountain View, California. ...And he paid for his own ticket! whoo hoo

It was great to have him around for a couple of days, we enjoy him and his humor - like his gifts for me: "A San Francisco Treat" -- a box of Rice-a-Roni! and a bottle of wine from Napa Valley - nice touch!

Another Simioni tradition: the 3 of us went to see the new "Star Trek" movie! He had to fly back too soon (for us, anyway). It is nice to see him enjoying life after college and new adventures in the Bay Area. What a great place for him to be!
