Lee is 26!

Happy Birthday Lee!

You don't actually read my blog, so you may never know that this is here for you, but just in case, Happy Birthday!

 We went to Mikuni for dinner!  Yummy AND fun.  If it's your birthday (and it WAS Lee's) you get to spin the prize wheel.  I was nervous he was going to win the bag of rice, which is an actual option, but NO, behold:

 THE HACHIMAKI!

(I didn't know what it was either)

Turns out, it's a bandanna.

What a lucky guy!

Better Late Than Never: Suspects Dinner Theater

I have been SLACKING on the blogging lately.  So here is my pseudo-effort on catching up on some things:

We went to Suspects Dinner Murder Mystery Theater on the Delta King in Old Town Sacramento.  The premise is this: you go down into the hull of the boat and have dinner in a theater with 120 other people.  Suddenly....a MURDER occurs, and you have to spend the rest of the evening trying to figure out who amongst you is the murderer or next suspect, as the actors are posing as normal folk.  IT WAS SO FREAKING FUN! Plus, it was my birthday present from Lee (which had to be postponed a few times) so it was double exciting.

 Our super cute room

 and the view

 Lee's eating my face?

 A suspect?

 Oh, yep, he got shot.

 This guy was the MC

 He and Lee were good buds

 And in an awesome turn of events...

 I was a suspect!

(Dream come true)

 Everyone was a good sport about letting me take their pictures

 Even Lee.

And in the morning, we we opted for the all you can eat brunch and bottomless mimosas.

I wish I lived on that boat.

Birthday!

I had a birthday.  It was fun.  So fun, in fact, that I forgot to take any pictures.  But, trust me, it was a good one.

I managed to get a gift certificate to Williams and Sonoma (which I turned into a mechanical icing thing, a silicon baking pad, and a ceramic bread bowl), TWO hot pink pepper sprays (my mother thinks I can be attacked at any moment), and tickets to: 

THE DELTA KING MYSTERY DINNER! 

(SQUEAL! Hooray for Lee!)

For anyone who is still sadly uninformed about the Delta King Mystery Dinner I'll just tell you these key facts:

1. The Delta King is a river boat on the Sacramento River in Old Town Sacramento.
2. The Mystery Dinner is a dinner theater show where a pretend (real?) murder happens and the suspects are AMONGST THE CROWD!
3. As a guest of the dinner, you try and solve the mystery.
4. I will be bringing a magnifying glass.

Also,  Lee and I will be staying on the river boat that night in one of the old-timey rooms.  I suspect Mark Twain will be there.

Thanks to everyone who made my birthday so fun!

And hey, isn't it weird that you can spell theater T-H-E-A-T-E-R and T-H-E-A-T-R-E?
