July 2008 Happenings

The biggest event in July was John's 55th Birthday! It started with a fun all adult dinner out on the town at El Paso Restaurant in Surprise with all of John's kids and brother-in-law. We celebrated Jason's, Rob's and John's birthdays in July with stuffing our faces and then opening presents from everyone.

John brought all his treasures home and then on the 16th he got to do several "firsts' to start off his 55th year as an official senior citizen. He began the day with a scenic glider ride in Peoria where he glided 3000 ft down to the ground (with a little help)!



Next we headed to the Cardinals (University of Phoenix) Stadium in Glendale for the public tour. It was quite interesting to see what the locker rooms, press room, and the VIP box seats all looked like with a bird's eye view of the field. It is quite an impressive building that we may never be able to afford to see a real game in!




The last first of the day was an authentic Japanese meal at the Ah-So Restaurant in Glendale prepared (or shall I say performed) by our very own Japanese chef at our table. He caught egg shells in his chef's hat and created an onion ring volcano spitting out fire along with creating a delicious meal right before our very eyes.

To top off the week, we cashed in our SpaFinder certificates and got a Unity Massage together on Friday at the fancy Day Spa in the Renaissance Hotel near the Glendale Stadium. Now THAT was a first for both of us!!! Wow!
