Rick's 34th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Rick!

For Rick's Birthday, he chose to head down to Old Sac, and "crack some crabs" at Joe's Crab Shack. Those of you who know Rick, know that he LOVES Dungeness Crab...so I wasn't surprised at his choice.
Before we left our home in Lincoln, Rick opened his birthday cards and a very special gift his family and I went in on together. A Bushnell 1600 Tournament Edition Laser Range Finder. And unfortunately, I did not get his reaction on camera...bummer! But here is a picture of the Laser Finder...supposedly, this nifty little thing will help Rick's golf game...we shall see!


Around 5, we left for Joe's. I have to say, our whole night was full of luck...
When we got into Old Town we entered the parking garage along with 50 other cars and right when we pulled in, a car on the bottom level right by the entrance backed out...NICE! When we got into the restaurant to put in our name, the hostess informed us that it would be a ONE HOUR AND FORTY FIVE MINUTE wait! Yikes! I was ready to walk out, but, Rick quickly responded with "That's fine." Guess the guy really wanted his crab.

Rick on his 34th birthday! Looking Good!

Rick is smart and always finds other options rather than just sitting around, so he suggested we go next door to Rio City Cafe and have a drink at the bar while we wait. I had never been there, but I was impressed. We sat there for about an hour had a few drinks and an appetizer and enjoyed ourselves. We left, and walked into the Crab Shack just in time! They called our name 5 minutes after entering the restaurant! Our table was outside looking over the river and the bridge. It was beautiful! We both ordered steam pots of Dungeness Crab, mine with Old Bay seasoning, and Rick with the "hot and spicy." So good, although Rick informed me that by the end of the meal, his lips were flaming!!!



All in all, the night was gorgeous and the food was perfect! I know nothing better than spending quality time with the one person I love the most. Rick, I hope that you had just as good of time as I did...you deserve the best...and this year, I pray that God blesses you more than you can even imagine.

Happy Birthday, with love,
