Three weeks ago Joseph and I went to California for Memorial Day weekend. We drove to San Diego Thursday night after Joseph got home from work,and spent the day with our friends at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, which neither Joseph nor I had been to before.
It was cool to see the animals out in open space where they could run around and play.
Ryan tried to show off with a little bit of trivia about an Okapi (not shown). Unfortunately for him, my 3 year old cousin taught me the answer to his question, so his vast animal knowledge wasn't as impressive as he had hoped. (Sorry, Ryan.)
Sunday was full of family and friends as we celebrated two events: The blessing of our friends' baby Kate, and Joseph's birthday. We had a small birthday party with my parents, brother, and his fiance (at the time). There were presents, and candles, and there was supposed to be a Strawberry Rhubarb pie, but I don't think they exist in Southern California. I settled for the next best thing... Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake. Fortunately Sam's Club sells a box of their cheesecake with 3 flavors, including their Godiva Chocolate (which is one of our favorites), so we still had delicious dessert. We did stop and purchase a Strawberry Rhubarb pie in Phoenix on our way home the next day because that was the intended dessert. A week of cheesecake and pie probably isn't the best thing for us, but we sure enjoyed it!
