When I was 13 years old I had a friend namd Jason Hicks are he talked and talked about turning the golden year. I thought the golden year was 50 or 60, but he corrected me. The golden year is the year you turn the same age as the day you were born on. Jason was turning his golden year at 14, and now 14 years later I have reached my golden year at age 28! I have no idea what is so special about it, but I still remember the converation with Jason like it was yesterday, and I have finally reached my golden year- this should not be confused with the golden years which is still a ways off for me.
I enjoyed my birthday very much this year! It started out with me joking about having a marathon birthday! Starting at midnight and partying 24 hours! I was totally joking, but Little Isabelle took it seriously! It was the first night we slept in a hotel on our vacation and she thought it was time to party! She refused to sleep. Up and down, up and down, up and down allllllllll night! At 3:30am I took her and strapped the little fart in her car seat and sat in the front seat. The next thing I knew it was 6am and she was sawing some zee's in her car seat. I took her out and went back into the hotel room. She looked at me and said "I sorry momma!" She slept another hour after that the marathon birthday began!
We picked John's sister Tanya up at LAX and headed to Newport Beach to go whale watching! We all get motion sickness so we were all hopped up on bonine and a prayer that we wouldn't giving the sharks any chum on our journey! It was quite an amazing trip! We saw Fin Whales, Blue Whales (the largest of the the whales), a pod of dolphins about 40 in size and also a bunch of Sea Lions! We were about 20 miles off shore and it was a beautiful perfect day! I am proud to report that none of us donated any chum!
It was a fantastic birthday! I couldn't have asked for a better day!

Sounds like you had a great golden birthday. I'm so glad that no of you were sea sick that is an awful feeling. LOL miss Izzy not sleeping kids are so random arent they? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
PS. I did call you!!!
I haven't read blogs in ages so I'm trying to catch up. Izzy did give you heck that night! One of the joys of being grandma...zeeee's... I felt bad that you had such a rough night. Whale watching might have been my favorite part of the trip and I didn't feed chum to the fish either!
