What a fun birthday celebration. And we are so good at celebrating! We started with breakfast at Marston's in Pasadena. It was super-yummy. We got a big omelette and french toast and shared.
We then got the kids and went to the Science Center in downtown.
More than anything, we wanted to see the baby chicks and hatching eggs that they have there. The chicks are so tiny and cute! It makes us realize that our chicks are getting sooooooooooo big! Very soon they'll be chickens and roosters.After wandering the Science Center, we went to see the IMAX 3D movie they have showing there called "Under the Sea." It was amazing!! The 3D part was incredible. There were times I seriously felt like I was snorkeling! I wish the girls had liked it as much as Craig and I. They got a little scared, took off their glasses, and towards the end, Ceci said she wanted to leave. Bummer. Because it was really great.
So then we wandered Exposition park for a while. The girls wandered this cool Earth day display and also around the big fountain and the rose gardens while enjoying paletas (popsicles.)
We then went home and gave the girls dinner. We sang to daddy one more time with super-cute cupcakes from Dots.
Then we took off to go out to dinner!! Craig had been wanting to go to this Argentine place in Pasadena on Green Street called Malbec. It was GREAT!! It had a beautiful, European feel with sidewalk seating. It was dark but all glowy with candles. Our dinners were fantastic! We started with delicious empanadas. Then Craig got a ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach and I got a chimichurri marinated steak with grilled veggies. So good! The dessert we got was carmelized apple-filled crepes with ice cream. It was delicious and beautifully presented. We would highly recommend this place. It was a very fun day-- Happy Birthday Craig!! If you have to get old, you might as well enjoy it, right? I love you!
