birthday

This was definitely one of the most memorable birthdays I've ever celebrated since I spent most of it participating in Canaan's Community Group Scavenger Hunt in SF! Here's a recap of the day...

Our team: Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (guess who came up with that name?)

the girl costumes: princesses (courtesy of our dear Summer's hard work and creativity)

the guys: robin hood (doesn't Byron look dashing?)

andy was a very good sport about getting a makeover (hey, it was worth 30 points!)

we all agreed that he looked quite nice (the makeup lady even complimented him on his "nice cheekbones")

After the scavenger hunt, Byron and I went home, crashed, and then headed out for my birthday dinner...at Gochi's, a Japanese fusion tapas place that Karen recommended. So yummy!

yuzu ceviche

sashimi salad

salmon oshi sushi (sooo good!)

my favorite dessert: green tea creme brulee!

All in all, a wonderful birthday. Thanks, everyone, for the gifts and well wishes!
