Since HBY had been working so hard these past few months, for his birthday we decided to go and get a couples’ massage. And I decided to go to a place that Daphne mentioned, Watercourse Way. (Thanks Daph!) I had mentioned to Debbie that we were planning on going there, and she told me she LOVED that place. Somehow I don’t really see Debbie having a spa day, but there you have it. She said the place we should really check out is the spa at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. I was like – damn, I think we’d have to work our way up to that place 
Although, it is my favorite place in the world I think.
Anyway, so we did an hour in the hot tub room followed by the couples’ massage. Let me just say…one hour is way too long to be in a hot tub. I will definitely be getting the room with a cold plunge the next time we’re there. But it was a very nice place. As for the massages, the first 10 or 15 minutes we were supposed to sit in the steam room, but after about 10 seconds I thought I was going to suffocate – damn, do people really like that?? Lol. We were probably still just overheated from the hour in the hot tub. I think we both enjoyed the massages at the Claremont better. But still, overall a great experience. The good thing about this place compared to the Claremont is that HBY and I stayed together the whole time, even afterwards when we showered and got ready. The bad thing is there wasn’t really a place to sit and blow dry my hair and do my makeup, which is kind of what I was planning on since we were going to still go out to dinner afterwards.
Guess where we ended up going after the spa? Well….we WERE in Palo Alto after all, so we had to go to HBY’s favorite place….Fry’s. Lol. The ugliest Fry’s out of them all, but oh well. We passed by a bike shop that had a sign out advertising $349 every single bike in the shop. He got all excited, he’s been wanting to buy me a bike forever, but I’m so not interested in going bike riding. Ever.
For Dinner, HBY got to go to the restaurant he’s been dying to go to ever since I met him, Tommy Toy’s. Fancy schmancy Chinese food, I don’t get it??? We had calamari, hot and sour soup (which I gave an honest try but couldn’t bring myself to like), duck, filet and fried rice. It was okay, I guess, but I wouldn’t choose that restaurant again. The fried rice wasn’t even as good as Benihana. And with the duck, they only gave you two pcs. of the bread, which had to be the cheapest thing. Oh well. I had a lichitini, with Kai Vodka, I think I’ll be making those on my next bartender night 
After all that, we hurried home to have cake with all the kids, Pristina was watching the kids, and DNS, Megan and Joshua were here also. Whew, what a day, we celebrated the whole day, I don’t even think I’ve had a birthday where I got to do what I wanted all day long……..
