Pancake Breakfast Time

One of our favorite times of year is Pancake Breakfast Time. Halfway through February till halfway through April, we wake up on Sunday mornings and head out to a pancake breakfast. We have several places we go to, out in Burton to "the guys" (VFW), the firemen, the upstairs of a falling apart restaurant, and our favorite and cheapest West Geauga High School. We love our pancakes and fresh maple syrup! Afterwards, to work off breakfast, we always take Koby to a new park and hike around! Here's our 2nd last trip to Pancake Breakfast at the upstairs of the falling apart restaurant in Burton.

My 28th Birthday!

This year I had a wonderful birthday! It all started on the Friday before, one of my very best friends, Jill, took me to Bahama Breeze (our favorite, can't wait to go in June) for a very special treat for me! (Thanks so much :o) We celebrated with yummy pina coladas, strawberry dacquiri's, and a perfectly cooked caribbean dinner! To top it off we were treated to a fabulous hot chocolate lava pineapple upside down cake. Oh yum! Check out her blog at doudican.blogspot.com to see the photos. (I stole this one off there, but go see the yummy cake and a cute Saint Patrick's Day baby!)

Then on the night before my birthday, Robb asked me if I had to work the next day, and I really didn't, so he said he had a surprise place to take me! We had to leave by 7:30 the next morning, and ended up at a Bob Evans (yum). Waiting there for us was his sister Kendra, and some of her friends all dressed in green. I had no clue, what we were doing that day, so I wore teal. I had a great breakfast including a happy birthday cupcake. We headed out to none other than the annual Cleveland Saint Patrick's Day parade! We took the rapid downtown, and met up with Robb's mom at the House of Blues. It was very fun to hang out there and then when the parade started we went outside the street to watch. After the parade, the rapid was way to crowded, so we took a nice long walk through the city, across this bridge over the river, and just walked to the next rapid station to go home. It was an absolutely perfect 70*, sunny day! The best weather in years! Thanks honey! It was so fun!

Mmmm, drive over here!!!

Ohhh and then the best part! That next Saturday Robb and I celebrated together by bringing one of my favorite restaurants, Melt Bar and Grilled http://www.meltbarandgrilled.com/, and duplicating our entire expreiance at home. We went out that day and got fresh baked bread, three kinds of cheese, ham, and turkey and made the most wonderful grilled cheese sandwiches! It was complete with fresh cut fries and coleslaw, not forgetting my favorite, Young's Chocolate Stout to drink. But what birthday would be complete without my favorite cake, yellow with chocolate icing! Robb got the best cake with pudding in the mix, and made me a perfect heart shaped fully decorated cake! My favorite!

"I can ice cakes with my eyes closed!"

Voila!
