forestofgloryYesterday was my birthday, and I had great day.
Tuesday afternoon R and I drove down to Monterey. We ate clam chowder in a bread bowl, then went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It's summer so it was bit crowed in places but we got to see the new cephalopods exhibit, which had some really cool things, and we got to spend some time watching the sea otters being playful. And when we were out on the deck I spotted a wild sea otter eating a crab. After the aquarium we went out to a nice dinner.
Yesterday I had low key morning. I had a really good peach in my cereal and opened the two cards that I got in the mail. I love getting mail, and was so pleased to have gotten cards.
At noon I meet my mom and family friend for lunch. We had a lovely meal sitting in a rose garden. Afterwards, my mom bought me some fancy chocolates and the fancy shop next door.
Then my mom and went to the plant nursery, and cheese shopping and stopped by Trader Joe's.
Latter we picked up my niece form summer camp, and I played imaginary games with her for a while. She was the Monarch of the Tree, and I was her Knight, and we ate a lot imaginary breakfasts, and I caught some imaginary thieves. But then she got mad at me because I objected to the death penalty. But then it was time for dinner.
R and a his mom showed up and we had bread and cheese. A really nice cheddar and Stilton and some type of soft cheese I don't remember the name of. With two kinds of bread, home made part rye with cranberries and walnuts, and baguette.
After the cheese my sister showed up and we ate dinner: green salad, tomato salad, summer squash, and frittata with caramelized onions, spinach and artichoke hearts. It was yummy. For desert my mom made peach upside down cake, which turned out really soupy, because the peaches were so juicy, and malted vanilla ice cream. After dinner I opened presents. I got chocolate and books and some really cool blocks. One of the books I got is called the Field Guild to American Houses, which I'm excited about because it will help me be better at wandering around and figuring out the history of places.
