I think Official Birthday Weekend can be deemed a terrific success -- especially because it resulted in no broken digits and instead involved blueberry coffee cake, presents galore, Belgian brews, healthcare reform debate, and science nerdishness.
Three -- it's serious business, especially while continuing to wait in line at the Baltimore Aquarium. And wait. And wait. Until finally...
Spot the marmots!Identify the sea creatures!
Swim with the fishies!
(Public Service Announcement: Did you know that jellyfish are pretty much responsible for destroying local economies in Europe and eradicating existing ecosystems? Who knew they were non-native invasive species capable of adapting to extreme environments and wrecking havoc? Too bad, because they're so adorably photogenic!)
And now onto the crowning glory of the birthday celebration: spoiling an old man rotten.
First, a birthday suit, in miniature.
The next morning, the fiesta continued.
Ta da!
The aged wonder contemplates his selections.
He asks, "Hmmm, would a Miele would fit in this box?"
Without delay, he answers, "YES!"
And then he spent an hour on the morning of his 29th birthday blissfully vacuuming the apartment. That's just how this birthday boy rolls.
