My birthday weekend:)

I had a great 27th birthday! Filled with family, friends, tea, mexican food, garlic, and the beach to name a few! Shirley, aunt Wendy and Kristy took me out thursday for lunch to a tea house in downtown Niles. where we dressed up in hats and had tea and scones, after lunch we shopped around in the antique stores! It's a really cute, quaint district, and mom and A. Wendy had fun shopping:) That evening, we met up with friends and coworkers and went to a mexican restaurant where pitcher's of Margarita's were served! The food was good, but the Margarita's were the best! We ended the night back at my place where mom and A. Wendy made me a homemade carrot cake....it was soooo yummy!!

Friday, we went to the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, where we met up with my Bro and Michelle visiting from Lompoc! We had everything garlic...scampi, fries, corn on the cob, and ice cream! We ate so much garlic that by the end of the day, we had ruined our taste buds, (but at least we won't be eaten by mosquitos;) Saturday, we went to visit the city, (andrew, michelle's new boyfriend) had never visited. We walked through chinatown and the wharf, had lunch at the Cliffhouse, and drove up to Napa to surprise cuz Wendy for dinner!

On Sunday, Shirley, trav, josh and I drove back to Lompoc to visit my parents! I was welcomed by the whole family, mima and mipa were there too, and we had Arroz con Pollo for dinner that mom made.....super delicioso!! Monday morning we took Shirley to Santa Barbara to visit downtown and have lunch on the pier! Annette and Reynna had never been to the beach, so we let them get dirty and play in the sand! It was so much fun watching the girls enjoy themselves:)

The week of fun ultimately ended, shirley went back to Oregon, and Trav and I went back to work. I had such a great weekend, pure enjoyment...unfortunately i only have a few pics! I was too busy having fun:)
