Mike's 30th Birthday

Mike turned 31 on June 14 (aka, Flag Day.)  This year, I had to continue the tradition of surprising him with some fun and exciting experience.  Just because he's a daddy doesn't mean we have to sit at home and watch TV, right?  And of course, with me birthdays are never just a one day event.  So...
On Saturday morning, we had a babysitter come to watch Stella for the day and we headed down to Lewes, DE with our friends, Bryan and Meghann to experience Pints and Paddles at Dogfish Head Brewery. The kayaking was amazing, we saw lots of turtles and birds and for a minute, it almost felt like we were close to home.  After a long day of kayaking, we headed the brewery for a tour and of course to sample a few beers.  We ended up buying a bunch of random beers including a peach beer and a beer made with red and white wines.

On Sunday, we met up with Lauren and Mike and went to brunch at one of Mike's faves in the city, Jones.

The actual birthday was on Monday.  That evening we enjoyed guacamole and hint of lime chips, opened presents and ate Mike's favorite cake, Marzipan.  I couldn't find this kind of cake anywhere, so I made it, and promised to make it look prettier next year.  Although I have to say, it tasted pretty good.
