I had taken my birthday off on Wednesday and Stuart took it off as well.  After we dropped the boys off to school, we went for some home remodeling shopping first, then headed over to Santana Row next.  The storm had not arrived yet, thus we were able to walk around the stores for a bit.  Then I chose one of the restaurants for us to have lunch.  We enjoyed some oysters, spicy tuna rolls, grilled fish tacos and crispy Brussel sprouts along with a cocktail and a beer.  After lunch, the rain had started and we headed home to relax for awhile.  That day happened to be a fundraising Diner’s night for school.  By the evening the rain was really coming down, we rather stayed home so we picked up a pizza from that restaurant to enjoy at home while watching the Warriors instead.  We were happy with a win from the Warriors, and we also wrapped up the night with our family favorite ice cream cake for me.

   The Sunday before that, the girls and I had gone out for dinner to celebrate Kathy’s and my birthdays.  We chose a Korean barbeque and hotpot place for dinner. It was nice to see the girls and catch up with them.
