Danielle's 26th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Danielle!! February 24th 2009!

Danielle and I planned for a day off of work

to celebrate Danielle's, and of course my, favorite day of the year.

We started the day off with a run in Upper Arlington. Sorry, no pictures provided. Danielle ran a 35 minute loop while listening to a sermon series by Mark Driscol on her IPOD. I did a hill workout on some steep inclines in UA.

We then packed up the element and headed for the hills. Yes folks, Bellefountaine OH is home of one of Ohio steepest ski resorts, Mad River Mountain. As you can see Danielle is very excited.

A beautiful day on the slopes. Blue skies, 33 degrees, soft snow, and slopes all to ourselves.

This is the second of two meal stops for us. On the way home from MadRiver, we used gift cards from Patty to eat a quick bite at Applebee's. (Again, no pictures provided). Don't worry, we saved just enough room to scarf down a couple 3/4 pound hamburgers from Thurman's Cafe in German Village.

And what better company to celebrate the famous twin's birthday than nother than Adam and Nicole Yunker. By the way, D and N split a burger and fries. Adam and I both polished off a whole burger individually and packed down a plate of fries! After a 2 hour wait, what can you expect?

In case we had not eaten enough at this point, we celebrated back at the Yunker's with a cookie cake. My stomach did not recover for a few days after all of this food. But it was worth it.

26 down. We just have to wait one more year for the next celebration!!
