Mom's 60th Birthday Celebration

 My Mom turned 60, so we planned a formal night out to celebrate!  
We were so excited to surprise her with a limo to drive us to several destinations that evening.
 
 
 
Celebrating! 

It was just so fun to get to ride all together all night! 
Our first stop was Eastborough Park, a beautiful park with amazing landscaping.  Our friend, Jeff, came to take pictures, and he did a great job! (Thank you,Jeff!)
We had to get a little silly. . .
So thankful for this man in my life! :)
 
Then, it was back to the limo to move on to the real entertainment:  Fine Dining at Newport Grill!

Those who know me know that I am a down-home farm girl who likes her pretty simple food.  I like pizza, hamburgers, ice cream and chocolate.  So, I decided ahead of time to try to be adventurous in my culinary selection.  Many of you will be proud to know that I had the swordfish. . .

. . .and I even tasted this salmon. . .

 . . .AND I tasted this raw tuna.  I'd say that is pretty good! 
I didn't get to taste this halibut, but it looked quite yummy with that giant mound of butter on top!  
Once our tummies were full, we headed outside to enjoy the live band while the limo came.  
Since the sun had gone down, we were able to turn on the laser lights in the limo!  It took us back a few decades!
We headed to Larkspur to end the evening with Live Jazz and dessert!
We had a fabulous time eating scrumptious desserts like this and just enjoying each other's company.  A highlight was Marc & Adam breaking out into a Psalty sing-a-long, overtaking the piano player in the background.
Overall, I hope my mom felt blessed.  I know that I did.  I'm so thankful to have a great family with which to celebrate.  Happy Birthday, Mom!

I haven't had a chance to talk to her, but I'm sure she felt truly blessed. She is so very proud of all of you.
