The morning of my birthday was spent looking at rental places with Dan- while Dyllan hung out with the Langridges (where she helped make my birthday cake and decorate the house with balloons, signs, and streamers). Dan and I returned around 1 with tons of sushi to share- we ate sushi and they light my birthday candles for me to make a wish (I wish I could be 29 for a few more years!)
After lunch we made a trip to Mona Vale- to pick up some papers to accompany our rental applications- said hi to Lionel and Kayleigh- then headed home to get ready for my surprise birthday night Dan had planned out.
At around 6- we filled up our to-go wine glasses- and headed to the Manly ferry dock. With a few minutes to spare before the ferry left- we stopped off at the candy stand to stalk up for the ferry ride.
Dan had the whole night planned- and Sean and Lauren were in on it. Together- they all treated me to dirty martinis and dinner at 36 Levels Above- the restaurant at the Shangra La Hotel downtown Sydney. It was poring rain - and we just sat there - perched up top of the city- and talked, laughed, ate, drank.. even met some new friends.. for hours! It was a perfect night.
We got the late ferry home- and couldn't resist a late night kebab at the Manly corso on the way back.
I am going to enjoy this last 20- something birthday to its fullest extent! Next year..I'll be OLD!
