I had a wonderful birthday celebrating it with my beautiful family! The night before we had a picnic in the park. It was such a beautiful night and we biked to the boathouse and had a picnic on the grass and playing soccer for a bit. Then the next day, Spencer surprised me with a day date! We took the train up to Chelsea Piers and then he told me what we were doing.. SAILING! There are sailing classes that you an take with an instructor and so us and another couple had our first introduction to sailing! She taught us all about the boat, how to steer each part and just the basics of sailing. It was a lot of fun and more technical than I thought. I did throw up quite a few times though :( I was pretty sick since we just went back and froth along the Hudson and we would turn around a lot! Luckily I wasn't sea sick the whole time though.. my sickness would just come on suddenly and I would have to throw up and then I would feel better! After throwing up 3 times and an hour and a half later, we decided to abort the sailing and the instructor had someone come out and get us to shore. It was a really fun time though, despite the throwing up. AND super thoughtful of Spencer.
That evening we had dessert before dinner since we were going out to dinner without the girls but I still wanted to celebrate with them. Spencer and the girls made me the most yummy strawberry rhubarb crisp! We ate that and then Spencer and I went to Little Italy for some yummy Italian food! I love the ambiance of Little Italy and we found a cute restaurant to eat at and then we walking around listening to music too full to get anything else that night!
A few days after my birthday my sweet friends all got together at Prospect Park to celebrate my birthday! It was a beautiful summer night surrounded by my most favorite people in Brooklyn. We chatted the night away and biked home in the dark. My friend Sara brought a cake, my friend Cassie made me a flower headband. It was all so perfect and wonderful!!
