A birthday in Santa Barbara

Last Saturday was another special birthday. My childhood friend Chau turned another year older. She's a few months younger and we have been friends since kindergarden.

She was in Santa Barbara celebrating her special day with her beloved hubby Tom, her younger sister and her husband, Maggie and Phillip. Of course, Reza and I drove up to join in on the celebration.

It was a little brisky, but breathing in the cool ocean air was definitely a nice break from the stuffy air in Los Angeles. We had to so much fun biking around the crowded boardwalk, hiking through the acres of the botanica gardens, monkeying around and, of course, eating our faces off.




They were stacking up on each other for an interesting pose...


...and crashed down as Reza unexpectedly jumped on top of the human tree (Thank god no one was seriously hurt in the making of this photo)



I caught Maggie resting on her husband during our "little" hike in the garden:

Reza, being goofy as always, pretended to hold up the humongous rock on the side of the dirt road:


Tom, the Ballerina? Just kidding...


Happy Birthday, Chau!


Thank you for such a fun weekend! Love ya!
