Don's 65th Birthday Celebration

Yesterday's birthday was a milestone event, and I decided that we were going to celebrate all day for this one!

The day started out with brunch at Preservation Kitchen in Bothell, an old favorite place of ours.  The brunch was wonderful--vegetable scramble and vegetable omelette, with home-made strawberry jam on the sourdough toast and red potatoes on the side.  We had a lovely table by the window, and it was a beautiful 'last day of summer' for everyone.

We had a leisurely day, and then prepared for dinner at Pizza Bank in Kirkland.  It's located in my old neighborhood (where I raised my son), and this restaurant was the site of Dave's first job as a busboy and waiter.  When he was 24 years old, he married the owner's daughter!

There is a new manager at the restaurant, so we had new menu offerings to choose from.  We started our Italian meal with bruschetta, followed by Strawberry and Spinach salad and Shrimp Scampi.  The Italian bread was thick and infused with garlic butter, and we enjoyed every bite of this wonderful meal.

We ended the meal with a small dish of spumoni ice cream.  It was a perfect day! Photos of dinner to follow in the next blog entry.
