Birthday Weekend
Pics in reverse order. Since my birthday was on Wednesday my celebration was put on hold till the weekend. Saturday, I got my new watch, then met the girl for a fun time at a game place. After which we went to an excellent restaurant for dinner. The next day we went to an art festival, saw some of the air and water show before returning home to open presents during a zoom party. What a lucky gal I am!
Some sort of loud jets doing things, flying around.
Jazz band playing at the art festival.
Surprise dessert with candle.

These are the recreation of the Oval Office from the Obama Presidential Center. (Note: no tacky gold bullshit like the current occupant)

Shindig
Private client shindig at the planetarium. Very nice event. Free food and booze, access to the planetarium and lots of activities going on inside. Had a great time.
