Happy Birthday, Brandon!!!

Happy 24th, Brandon!!!

I had the whole day planned - we started early, 8am, and headed to Long Beach for a motorcycle swap meet!  The weather wasn't great but the event happens every month so we will go again and next time take the bike!



B looking at the bikes....





This lot is usually FULL - since the weather wasn't great and not so warm, not many bikes. 
Next time!  And I'll be in my biker gear ;)


Next we headed to the best bbq we've found in LA....
Baby Blues BBQ in Venice!!  So So So So YUMMY!!!!


GREAT decor!  
Last time we ate outside.....




B studies the menu....
and
SWEET TEA while we wait!!!  Well, for me....B doesn't like tea but I love him anyways :)




That's what I call some pepper sauce!!!  Love the bottles and the sauce!!!!!!


And for the star of the show: 


YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



 
Happy Birthday and Leftovers!!!




Then.....onto Venice Beach for freaks and beer!!!



He clearly wants his picture taken.....



Much better with the beer!
Favorite place is The Waterfront Cafe - Erdinger Weizen Beer - the lemon is delish!  
Even I love it :)

We got home and were about to start a movie when surprise!  I had our neighbors Sean, Michelle, Don, and Charlene come over for cocktails and cake!!  I made the cake all by myself with the help of Betty Crocker ;)  And had a Harry Potter themed party!  




That's the Golden Snitch from Harry Potter as the cake topper!





I've always wanted to put a ton of candles on a cake!
In this case, 24 for Brandon :)




He also got a firebolt!!!  Go Brandon Go!!



The party scene


And even "Manny-Quinn" enjoyed the festivities!!

Great day!  Now if I could get Brandon off the broom while running through the apartment.... :)
