Happy Birthday, Peter

I came down to San Fran to celebrate Peter's birthday with him. It's been a really fun few evenings. Last night we all dressed up and headed into the city to attend Peter's work party. It wasn't that exciting so we headed out. We ended up at the Top of the Mark for a night cap because the view of the city is incredible. We went out for a ride today. It was a beautiful, balmy day here in CA so we headed up Diablo and it offered a great view. Tonight, Melissa took us out to dinner for our b-days. We had a delicious Italian dinner and then went to the St. Francis to ride the glass elevator. I didn't really enjoy the elevator experience as much as I thought it would. It was kind of like one of those free fall rides. We all had an Irish coffee in the lobby and people watched for a bit. There were lots of people dressed to the nines for holiday parties so it was quite the show. There was also this huge gingerbread house in the lobby that has been under construction for 2 years now. The stats on it were quite impressive - 100 lbs of candy, 40 lbs of flour, etc - the total weight was 1200 lbs!


When we got home, Melissa suprised us with a peunut butter ice cream cake. Thanks, Melissa! Now we're hanging out on the couch with the cats watching the Soprano's. These cats are awesome - Casa and Mosi. There are sisters and super cute. It's nice because they let you pet them and they seem to like people - what a concept.
