My 28th Birthday
Ah...July! The crazy month for birthdays. Seems that many ppls b-days fall during July. I celebrated mine just yesterday. It was definitely one for the memory book.
It started with a trip out to a lake in the Cinco Ranch area where my friend lives. We went kayaking and boat rolling. It was definitely something new that many of us have never done. Our friend Allison was a huge kayaker. She brought out two of her own kayaks and we borrowed one from the club. It was fun, but I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't done upper body workout that morning. Kayaking is all upper body. I got tired pretty quickly. Illenny and I switched up and I took over for her on the roll boat. That was much more relaxing. The park was really nice. They even had a pool that simulated a beach. There was sand and even a wave pool. Unfortunately they did not have the waves on. Eva and I got into the pool...that was fun. After this we went back home to Carlos' and showered and got ready for a very late lunch/early dinner. We headed to the Rainforest Cafe inside the Katy Mills Mall. For Allison and I, it was our first time there. It was quite an experience in itself. Food was not that great, but service definitely was. Our waitress Amanda was about the spunkiest girl I've met. She was way too happy. But better that than a boring waitress. No complaints here...just funny. Well, they pulled a fast one on me cuz they came out with one of those sparklers on a cake for me. They made me get up on my chair and dance with a salt and pepper in my hands as they sang happy birthday to me. Dang...I thought I was too old for that, but I guess I'll never be old enough for my friends to have a good laugh at me. So I even have to admit that I had fun with it...as embarrassing as it was. And yes...they have it on video.
After walking the mall to relieve ourselves from dinner, we headed back home and watched Capote. Many of us fell asleep but we all got up to catch enough of the movie to know what was going on. That is one messed up guy.
But that capped off my night. It was beyond excellent. I could not have thought up a better way to spend my birthday...and with a better group of ppl.
