Happy Birthday Annie!

Today is Annie's birthday and I just want to wish her a day filled with love and happiness. Although today is her actual birthday, today marks the end of her birthweek. Lots of fun and relaxation was had.

I'll fill you in on the details later but just know the quote to this weekend's activities was..."Annie's worth it!"

I love you Annie! Happy birthday.

**Update**

We headed off to Indian Wells this past weekend to enjoy a stay of relaxation and pampering at the Miramonte resort and spa. Annie's proud of herself because she got such a great deal on the room. Nevermind the insane price it was for our massage. Actually I'm happy Annie got one! She was treated to a maternity massage which was much needed on her part. I on the other hand could have done away with my massage from Kerry...my male masseuse!

Although it was very hot and humid outside we did venture out to try some of Palm Springs finest restaurants. First stop, "The Nest". Billed as a french cuisine restaurant, this place was anything but french. More Italian then anything else. It's safe to assume we were the youngest people in that place. Average age of their guests had to be 50...maybe 60. Food, not so great! Although Annie did enjoy the bean soup which came in a cool looking kettle(Something easy for their elderly guests to eat)The piano lounge singer added interesting entertainment for the night. Those people know how to shake a leg!

Saw Mama Mia that night at the local cineplex. I was quite impressed with their outdoor shopping complex called "The River" Nice river flowing throughout the complex. Movie theater was crowded with teenagers. I guess they have nowhere else to go and nothing else to do.

We went back to "The River" the next night and ate at some sushi place that was less than thrilling. Of course, when you've had the best at "Kens", it's hard to like anything else. Saw a cool BBQ place I wouldn't mind going back to visit and eat at. Called "Babes" Annie was not amused.

We continued Annie's birthday extravaganza back home with a Mass for her. Went out eat with the fams at "BJ's". One would think this would bring Annie's birthday to a close...nope! Ate came over in the evening and of course we had to celebrate with her, so the family headed off to the "Melting Pot" Love their cheese and chocolate fondue! Mind you, we had reservations for 6:30pm and we did not leave until 10:30pm! It takes a long time to eat fondue.

Regardless of how much I tease about the extended birthday celebration and the cost of this entire weekend, in the end, I guess "Annie's worth it!"
