The Best Gift


In Friday, I was given an extraordinary gift for my birthday. Four friends, who happen to be my neighbors, took me on a birthday celebration trip. I have no idea of what was happening. They picked We started at the Como Park Conservatory a wonderful place to be on a cold, snowy Minnesota day. We wandered around the plants and blooms, dreaming of spring which is several months off. We then headed to Minneapolis to the Aveda school for some pampering with manicures and pedicures. After that we were parched, so went to a local bar for delicious bloody Mary's. Our trip ended at the Ace comedy club where we had dinner and saw a show.

The day wasn't about what we did, but the enjoyment we had together. Although we celebrate our birthday's together, it is usually a couple hour dinner. Having the uninterrupted time to spend together was the best part. Having four neighbors who took time out of their busy lives to celebrate my birthday with me was priceless.
