Birthday Luncheon

It was much cooler yesterday as we made our way to meet British Don in the city to celebrate Michael's birthday. At 10AM, the traffic coming down the coast to our town while we were leaving was bumper to bumper. Crazy. We knew it was going to be a challenge to get home later in the afternoon.

Lunch was amazing. It was at an elegant dim sum place in the financial district of the city where we enjoyed a variety of goodies including soup dumplings. We moaned a lot. It was that unusual and delicious. Traffic in the city was easy, we stopped for a cup of coffee and a chat before dropping Don off at his home.

We braced ourselves for the ride home. It was fine until we hit the town north of us. Thirteen miles away from home. Many packed beaches in between. We made it through the mess in under an hour. It was a tough way to end our celebration weekend!

Michael could not believe all the people who called or sent cards or Happy Birthday wishes to him on Facebook. Very touching! We are recovering from it all today and plan to stay around the house.
