Birthday, Bicycles and Bowling, Oh My!

Last week I turned 28. Now, that sounds pretty much like 30 to me, but I'm not all that concerned. I feel and behave like a teenager in most cases, so that's what matters to me. To celebrate, Greg and I traveled over the mountains back to the Palm Springs area Thursday and spent a couple nights there. We had a great St. Patrick's day! Thanks to everyone who sent cards, gifts, emails, texts and their birthday wishes over the phone. Hearing from you meant a lot to me! 
Birthday Night

A good friend of Greg's from highschool, Zach Jones ("Joneser") turned 28 on St. Patty's day too, so when we got back in town we spent an evening in Ocean Beach to celebrate with him. Zach's birthday party was in the form of a bicycle pub crawl in his cute, funky neighborhood. Friends on bikes joined us at different points along the crawl, and at our largest, the group of cyclers was well over a dozen (this resulted in stares and funny comments from people we passed on the streets, and gave me a new way to think about "biker gangs"). It was a great way to see the local bars, people watch, and get some exercise between beers, while enjoy a mild San Diego evening.

Sunday night - since apparently we hadn't made the most of our weekend yet - some friends who commute/live between Utah and San Diego came over for dinner and a night out Bowling! We have a pretty nice bowling alley near our house, and we enjoyed a few not-so-serious games before calling it a night. I really would like to learn how to bowl...it would be especially nice to break 100!

In other news, the baby hummingbird has officially left the nest. The last picture I caught of her/him is below. I have some cute kitty pictures but not on my computer, so I'll add a post in a few days with those. Until next time........

Baby - almost too big for the nest now!
 
Our view in Palm Springs - the moon was so bright that night!
