December 1st 2010 I reached the great old age of 21!!! I pulled back my curtains for the first gift of the day - SNOW! I've never had snow on my birthday before so that was a happy surprise! Val and I started out the day right with a delicious brunch at Mama Feelgoods, a cute cafe down the road in Patrixbourne. We had a pot of tea and cream alongside an amazing english muffin sandwich with poached egg and bacon that is better than any American bacon I've had! To finish off our breakfast we each had a piece of the richest coffee and walnut cake! It was a wonderful snowy day and we spent the rest of it enjoying the weather, baking mom's traditional chocolate kahlua cake, and talking with friends and family! I got to pick out the bottle for our dinner wine but wasn't carded at the little corner store :( Haha! Val and I watched a chick flick before bed. And one of the best surprises of the day was getting to skype my sis Kate in Tahiti!! It was seriously such a blessing to see your face, Kate lady! I loved it :)
To keep the celebration going, on Friday I was able to visit my friends Brandi, Emily E., Emily B., and Stef in London! We spent a great day in London town by ice skating at the Somerset House (hosted by Tiffany & Co.!), eating at London's best Thai restaurant, walking around the city, visiting Hyde Park where we experienced the Winter Wonderland carnival with icing sugar covered spanish churros and hot mulled wine, walked through Harrod's department store, and got some inner-city pizza that only cost 2 pounds! It was a great train ride and a full day of blessed time with friends from across the world. I would say it was a very memorable 21st birthday :)
