Birthday with Shamu

Took Friday (My birthday!) off to drive down to San Diego and visit Shamu~

The drive down was longer than I remembered... I'm not used to driving from West LA.

Sleepy heads took a nap after the "ABC game".

Planning the itinerary... how to pack the most shows in one day?

Yona and a 2,343 year old sea turtle.

Flamingos are stinky.

Steve likes stinky flamingos.

So chipper these two are.

My favorite show of the day -- watching dogs, cats and a pig do tricks at the Pets Rule! show.

Why isn't Lulu that smart?? :(

Jaws of terror.

Manatee house of love.

I love penguins!

Yona and Jamie in a polar bear cave.

Yay for funnel cake!

Arrived early for the famed dolphin show.

Harshest dolphin critiques ever.

Sea Lion naptime... they remind me of Lulu...

Steve likes cactus gardens.

$10 cup of hot cocoa...

And we ended the night with Shamu Rocks!

Birthday Dinner/ Whitney Reunion

Elaine and my birthday celebration at Porterhouse Bistro on August 9, 2007.

It was like a high school dance... we took a gazillion combinations of pictures.

Elaine and Soomin ready to chow down on some steak.

Class of 98... :)

All the girls.

I don't remember the theme for this one... everyone who has ever used my couch as a bed?

Me and Lei.

Birthday girls.

Me and Steve.

Warehouse Sale!

Whitney Cheerleaders.

and of course....

The Warmins. (Joanna flew in just for that picture!!!)

Toilet story!

They replaced all the toilets at work.. they used to have an automatic-flush sensor but now they're all manual. Everyone knows how often I go to the bathroom -- can't help it, small bladder. WELL, it looks like not everyone has caught on to the fact that the toilets are no longer automatic...

And well, you can probably guess the rest of this story.

I am not a happy camper.

Rapp Beach Party

As promised~ Pictures from my work beach party.

The setting: a modern light-filled beach house on the Strand in Manhattan Beach, overlooking the volleyball courts on the sand.
