Bullseye: August 2007

Welcome to your Thirties.

Yes, I turned thirty on Monday. Hard to believe, or as my mom says "YIKES". Javier threw me an awesome birthday party on Saturday, followed by a midnight swim in the mighty pacific, followed by a great weekend camping, wine tasting and exploring new places. Then, on the drive home. This. A burning bus. An omen? Perhaps. Hello 30, good-bye to the days of playing on the schoolbus.

Wine tasting in Santa Ynez. This is the vineyard from movie Sideways. Good wine. Pricey Wine. Cool sign. In case you can't read it from the photo, it says "Unattended children will be given an espresso and a free puppy".

Javier took me on a birthday get-away this weekend up North. Camped our first night here on the coast, close to Santa Barbara.

Ritzy Stems

One of my awesome clients gave me a gift certificate to Sunday Champagne brunch at the Ritz Carlton. Bottomless champagne and the finest of treats to eat. We also got to sit at the table next to Magic Johnson. Nice smile Magic! These are one of the many extravagant flower arrangements at the hotel.

Aww...Jeter.

Go Yanks.

Dad came out for the Angels/Yankees game last week. This photo was taken prior to the Yankees getting massacred by the Angels. What a surreal game. And it was Javier's first Yankee game. Welcome to the club Jav!
