30 is the new 20

I'm 30.
Have been for 4 days now.
Turns out 30 is kinda awesome.
Especially when your husband throws you a BIRTHDAY RAVE!

My wonderful husband surprised me with a trip to San Francisco.
I knew he had something planned for awhile, I just didn't know what.
All he would say was, "Get ready for the birthday rave."
So I gathered my candy bracelets, glow sticks, and adult sized pacifiers.
Alas, these things were not needed.
I got over it quickly.


After a very fun day together we met up with our friends, Brett and Erin, at Absinthe.
I'm a huge Top Chef fan. Jamie Lauren, of Season 5, is the Executive Chef.
I got the beef cheeks and they were very tasty.

Of course we couldn't eat at Absinthe without trying some.
Sadly, we saw no green fairies.

Who needs cake when you have olive oil ice cream?
So yummy!

Then it was on to Wicked.
I love musicals.
I loved Wicked!

Post show drinks at The Top of the Mark.
I always prefer a Sidecar.
Haven't had one before?
Hemingway drank them all the time.
That man knew his liquor, you should trust him.

Back at the hotel after a long, but very fun night.

After getting to sleep in, some coffee and scones, it was time to get ready to leave.

But first I felt the need to take this picture.
Not sure why...
I think I just wanted to show off my new jeans and our cool room.

And of course, Me and the Mr.
He is the best.
