my 28th birthday

An AMAZING day with Dave.
fully documented below, with over 300 pictures to sort through and decide which ones to display, as of right now i haven't done any digital editing.
my photos are raw... what i see is what you get.
i do know in the digital world, editing is a part of the digital photography art form, but i haven't jumped into that scene yet.
im sure i will at somepoint, but as of today i haven't.

my birthday started out with sleeping in, coffee and breakfast made by my fabulous loving husband dave.
he gifted me with a card that made me cry, a new apron for cooking in the kitchen, and an ottoman for our living room :) all fabulous things.

at 11am we took off for our day trip, destination north, beyond the golden gate bridge. the picnic was packed and we took off.

not even 2 blocks from our apartment dave revealed my new birthday playlist.
(its tradition, i get a new birthday playlist every year...yes he is mr thoughtful!)




dave wasn't sure about this one, i just left the camera on timer on top of a random fence post, he looks a little nervous, but it all worked out!







from the marin headlands, point bonita, light house area...
we headed to sausalito for a picnic on the pier, and ice cream cones in the park!

after a little chillaxing in the sunny side of the bay, we headed back across the golden gate.
we found ourselves in sutro heights park, over looking ocean beach!
we did a little reminiscing of the past year and where we have come and where we want to go.

we talked about the highlights of my 27th year and and concluded that it was a great year of change, moving back to the sf side of the bay, becoming more of a team, experiencing more events of life together.
i know 28 is going to be great, and with this year im sure will be more change, more growth, more moments that become memories, and lots more pictures to take so that we can document it all along the way!

we shared some snacks, some wine and talked about what we should do for our remaining time of this birthday celebration day.
after an hour in the park...we decided that cooking food for dinner sounded more optimum than eating out, so we headed to trader joes to pick up veggies and marinated meat for the grill.

and yes it was a thumbs up day!
