Dani Cakes: Birthday Weekend

I turned 25 this Sunday. Happy Quarter-Century to me! It was an awesome weekend. I really couldn't have asked for a better one. The weather was wonderful, and it's the warmest birthday I think I've ever had.

Here's the birthday in a nutshell...

Friday

Tom came home with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for me!

We drove up to Morrisville to see Tom's dad's band, In Kahootz, play. They were awesome and we enjoyed watching them play

Saturday

Went for a 5-mile easy run
Met up with some UVM interns for dinner at the Skinny Pancake. I really love savory crepes. I ordered the Deja Vu, which is sausage, cheddar cheese, and apples in a crepe, drizzled with Vermont Maple syrup. Yum.
Headed to Bagito's for some coffee with the interns, and enjoyed some music from Montpelier's Jazz band.
Met up with Tom and watched him eat two tacos from Mad Tacos. He didn't make it in time for dinner with the interns.
Headed to the Savoy Theater (my first time there!) to see Albert Nobbs. What an interesting movie.....
Headed home to discover some Lake Champlain Chocolates and peanut butter cups under my pillow!! How sweet! (heh - literally!)

Sunday

Woke up and immediately (I mean, I just turned off my alarm) received a package of Birthday Cake Oreos and a card from Tom
Headed out for a 20 miler with my friend Rachel. We averaged 8:10 per mile and enjoyed a gorgeous morning. By the time we got back it was up in the 40s
Found a giant banner in our living room after my post-run shower

Took an hour nap by accident
Walked around Montpelier. I'm pretty sure everyone was out there. It was well into the 50s by the afternoon and few were wearing jackets
Met my dad, brother, and my dad's GF for dinner at Sarducci's. We were stuuuuffed when we left.

Came home to enjoy some of my dad's strawberry shortcake, to open gifts, and to hear a lot of hilarious stories. My dad seems to always have a good one to tell!
