My Awesome Weekend! (3/29-3/30, with pictures!)

hyperlitehunny · 03-31-2008, 12:30 AM

So, I celebrated my 20th birthday on Saturday, 3/29, (my real bday is 3/24) with a bunch of my family and friends. My grandparents hosted it. There was a lot of good food (including a yummy clam pasta that my grandma made) and a bunch of gaming! The three top games of the night where (1) Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Wii, (2) Rockband on the Xbox 360, and (3) I'm the Boss, a boardgame. I had a lot of fun just hanging out with everyone. Here are pictures!

My mom & dad preparing the BBQ

A picture with some of my mom & dad's motorcycle group

My great-grandma. I'm her oldest great-grandchild. (=

My mom & dad's motorcycle group. They all congregated in the kitchen. Then later moved to the livingroom. haha

Of course, I *HAD* to have a Disney Princess cake!! Vanilla cake with raspberry filling. So delicious!

Everyone is singing "Happy Birthday"

One of my nicest pictures ever taken. (Is now my signature... lol)

With my boyfriend's family: Our niece, his sister's fiance, his sister, his sister-in-law

My two younger cousins... Who are so much more taller than me!

My little brother, two cousins, and niece playing around.

Playing "I'm the Boss." (if you've never played, go check it out! it's actually really fun!)

Derek & Me.

With our wonderful and beautiful niece. And you can't tell, but Derek is hiding a chicken leg behind him; he was just about to take a bite when I said, "Let's take a picture!"

All of the other pictures can be found on my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lliiaan...7604316444623/

___________________

On Sunday 3/30, Derek and I took a little drive down to Monterey and the Fisherman's Wharf to celebrate our 4-year-anniversary. (Our actual anniversary is 3/27 but Derek had finals over the week.) We left later than usual, and we spent most of the time walking around Cannery Row and the Wharf. We had a late lunch on the Wharf at The Old Fisherman's Grotto. I had wanted to do the 17-mile drive, also. But that didn't happen, seeing as by the time we were done walking around, it was almost 5PM and I didn't want to be home. Oh well. I wasn't too sad about it; we'll be back in a couple of weeks' time anyway! Here are some pictures. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of us together from today! lol

Derek, in Cannery Row. (He never really looks prepared to take pictures!)

This awesome Harley parked in the Row

This store, American Revival Co, is located on the Row and features lots of cool antique things from older movies.

On our way to the Wharf...

That's all I have for Monterey. I wish I had taken more, but it's okay. I enjoyed my day out.

I hope you all had a wonderful and awesome weekend, also! (=

Very cool photos! Thanks for sharing!

I remember the Wharf so well and going to the same restaurant, The Old Fisherman's Grotto ions ago. I'm surprised it's still there!

Peace and Happy Belated Birthday,

Yes, the Old Fisherman's Grotto is our favorite restaurant to go to whenever we hit up Monterey. I don't see it going out of business anytime soon; it seems really popular!

I loved my cake. My mom had called me up the morning of the party and asked if I wanted a Tinkerbell cake or a Princess cake. Since Tinkerbell would have been a lemon cake, I choose the Princess one. hehe

Oh that shirt... lol!! I had told him, "Of all shirts to wear! We're going to take lots of pictures today, you realize that right?" He said, "Yep, I know! That's why I wore it!"

And thank you! I love my name, also! Except it doesn't help when souvenir stores don't have any personalized name items for me. =P lol

All4dISNEY · 03-31-2008, 08:45 AM

Great pics! And Happy Belated Birthday! Great name too! (almost same as mine-Liane) And I'm right there with you on the personalized souvies --so glad we can get Mickey ears w/ our names on them!
