Terrific to be Twenty-Three

My birthday was over a week ago, but I'm not ready to stop celebrating... and I just really wanted to post some fun pics. So, here is my first ever California birthday experience.

{Part One: Dinner (complete with free sombrero) at Chevy's}


{Part Two: Partay with the familia
*highlight was completely amazing homemade ice cream cake*}


{Part Three: Loving Life (and Bryan) at fabulous Carmel Beach}



{Part Four: Beautiful Seventeen Mile Drive including picnic lunch}


{Part Five: Strolling the shops of Monterey, Taking a surrey ride on the boardwalk, Eating fish and chips on the water while watching pelicans and sea lions play}




I could probably handle a few more birthdays like this...
