Happy Birthday, Carver!

Thursday, April 2, 2009
Mark's dad, Carver, turns the big "seven-naught" today. Wish we could be there for the celebration!

When Mark got home from work today, Sherry was craving Italian food; she had already researched the best restaurant in the neighborhood online, so we headed for La Barca a couple of blocks away. We ate outside, so Ro could bounce around without disturbing the other diners. The food was excellent; Sherry had lasagna, Mark had rack of lamb, and Ro had cheese pizza. It was still light out after we finished eating, so we walked down Maunganui Road to Mount Drury. We got to the top just as the sun was setting.

We stopped at the playground at the base of Mt Drury on the way home so Ro could burn off a little more steam before bedtime. It's definitely getting into the off-season here, as all the swings had been removed for maintenance.
