An eventful week of birthday celebration with DaddyO! We began the week with a party at the house with friends and family. We were literally putting the finishing touches on the house post remodeling moments before guests arrived. And it was all worth it. It was a cool afternoon with delicious food (thanks to family!); catching up with loved ones old and new, young and...not as young; and cornhole!
On the day of DaddyO's actual birthday (Thursday), Rosie and I picked him up at UCSanta Cruz after a three-day freshman retreat. It was so nice to see him after day away from home. We grabbed lunch on the pier, walked the boardwalk while Rosie napped, and then played on the beach. Sadly, our phones both ran out of battery so we weren't able to capture the beautiful day. In particular, it was hilarious to see Rosie on a mission while on the beach. She decided the seaweed was "Terrible. Horrible!" and insisted on cleaning up the beach by dragging the seaweed back into the water. She would have made it all along the coast if we didn't eventually turn her back. We also saw jellyfish! That was a first on the west coast. After rinsing and drying off, we grabbed dinner in Little Saigon and then headed home, where DaddyO was finally able to catch some shut eye.
Happy Birthday DaddyO! We love you!
