Picture of the Day (Day 306 - 30th July 2011)

After the annual pool party birthday bash at Mark's, we headed into Downtown Raleigh for dinner at Dos Taquitos Centro to celebrate Jessica and Paul's birthdays.

We bookended with visits to the Busy Bee Cafe, where we had this crazy drink: The Sting, complete with huge jalapeno slices.

At our InsideOut Open House, Paul won tickets to a Durham Bulls game in the raffle. We had fantastic front-row seats, and it happened to be fireworks night too.

Today we threw a surprise 30th birthday party for Kevin at Foggy Bottom.

The biggest surprise? The super awesome inflatable jousting ring we hired!

It was basically a day of hitting things - each other with giant cotton buds (Q-Tips) in the Jousting Arena, and the '30' shaped pinata.

Match of the day? Kevin vs. Baby Ellery. (Baby won!)

Lots of great food was served, all finshed off with a custom Carolina Hurricanes ice cream cake!

Ready to stock the pinata for Kevin's surprise party....

If my calculations are correct, Tour de France + cake = a great birthday for Brendan!

Good luck to all of my Target Country Winmalee lovelies with this year's Toy Sale. I'm dressing up with you in spirit (continuing with last year's Sesame Street theme!)

In theory, you could walk from Maine to Florida (that's the entire east coast) along the Greenway, including the Tobacco Trail. At least, you will be able to once they build that bridge over I-40 ;)

Raleigh Ampitheater for the O.A.R. concert!

Kelley James and SOJA opened up (I really liked Kelley), before O.A.R. hit the stage.

They were fantastic, as always, but I wasn't keen on their new songs. Luckily they played lots of their old stuff too!
