Josh Turned 25 on June 25th! we went to San Clemente for the weekend and stayed in a funky little surf motel called Inn at Calafia Beach. It was super cute. We had our friends Jeff and Andrea and their 2 kiddos come and stay with us. Josh and I ate at a really good restaurant on the pier called Fisherman's Restaurant. The fish and chips and the clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl are so so good. We watched the surfers while we ate and enjoyed the nice cool weather. Then we went for a walk along the beach and drove around searching for the perfect spot to play. We found a locals area and got directions how to get there. It was perfect. Then later when our friends came we went to a Hawaiian restaurant and had some really great food there as well. We played games for the rest of the night and the next morning for Josh's birthday we went to the beach.
He built a sweet sand castle that I didnt' get a picture of and played in the waves on our boogie boards which I also didn't get a picture of. I'm so lame! I had a nice long nap and was so refreshed and so sunburned! For dinner that night we went to a Chicago style pizza place and had a buffalo chicken pizza and a pesto pizza.
Andrea and I told the guys we had to go get the baby's food from the car and we snuck over to a bakery and bought 2 expensive yet small cupcakes to surprise Josh with. We stopped at the store to get ice cream sandwiches called It's-it's (2 oatmeal cookies with ice cream in the middle and all dipped in chocolate). Jeff snuck in and got candles and a fire source and we met back at the room and went into the bedroom to light the candles. It was a big mess! The flame lighter that he bought was too hot and melted the "happy birthday" candles that he bought ( each letter was 1 candle) and since i only had 2 cupcakes we tried getting them all on there. So we finally got them all lit and walked out singing and the fan blew out all the candles. Josh was really surprised and when he started eating the german chocalate cake cupcake i got him he made a funny face and set it down. It was so gross! I was furious that I wasted all that money on a nasty cupcake but it was the thought that counts.
Sunday we came home and went to church and afterwards we had a bunch of our friends come over to have cake and ice cream. I tried using the candles again and they still got blown out right away and I burned my finger. They went right in the trash after that! So many people came and crammed into our little apartment. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends here. It makes being so far from our families a little easier because we have people to count on here. I was going to take a picture when everyone was here but i thought i'd eat first and then i forgot and people started leaving. I suck at running the camera. Oh well!
Happy Birthday babe! Love you so so much!
