I celebrated my 27th birthday this year in a relaxed way this year. Jack and I went out to dinner at a Mongolian Grill a few days before and enjoyed yummy stir-fry. On the actual day, Mark (church friend) and I had agreed to a join party at the indoor climbing wall in the evening. So, we gathered a few friends and family and headed to the community center. It was fun getting all geared up (I actually inherited a pair of shoes I've only used once before) and getting on the walls. The climbing routes ranged from 5.6-5.9 and I started with the easiest one. It really worked my forearms, fingers, hands and back. Lauren, my brother's girlfriend, advised me to keep my knees bent and arms long, instead of standing and bending my arms to hold on to the wall. Her advice was very helpful! Here are a few pictures from the event.
To add some sweetness to the event, we headed to Whole Foods after the climb to enjoy some awesome ice cream sandwiches made by a local vendor: Ruby Jewels. Her flavor choices and quality are great! Check them out: http://www.rubyjewel.net.
Mel and Linda sent some sweetness my way too, with a gift certificate to Sees Candy. Here's the delicious box I picked out.
