A birthday in pictures...

Before I even finished yesterday's post about my rainy milestones and new boots the sun began to peek from behind the dark clouds and stream through the blinds.  I didn't think much of it as I was sure I'd jinx it but then something crazy happened...it kept coming out! The Port City definitely delivered in weather for my birthday (72 degrees and sunny skies!) so I snapped a bunch of pictures to share a photo diary of my day.

We walked in the park to enjoy the weather and see the geese and turtles. Then we took a trip downtown to the river to eat lunch (we've established how much I LOVE a lunch date..outside) at a local spot, Mixto--that features contemporary latin food. We enjoyed pineapple mojitos, fresh salsa and roasted pulled chicken with avacado chipolte spread and cuban style fries (they also have this incredible cuban style ketchup that's smokey and slightly spicy that I love to mix with the sweetness of traditional ketchup for a custom dip).  We walked along the river to take in some winter sun and stopped by Hot Pink Cake Stand for a Reese's and Oreo cupcake. A perfect, non-rainy birthday, despite early morning clouds.
