After Tanganyika, we treated David and Donna (and Misty, who joined us also) to dinner at Pacific Coast Pizza. It’s their favorite pizza joint.<\/p>\n

We gave David his birthday gift at dinner: Close Encounters of the Third Kind 3-DVD boxed set on Blu-ray. He was surprised because he thought the trip to Tanganyika was his gift. It was actually a trifecta: the Blu-ray, Tanganyika and dinner at PCP. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The celebration continued on Sunday afternoon at Orange Leaf. David and Donna’s treat.<\/p>\n

I thought it was an awesome birthday weekend. I hope that David had as great a time as the rest of us. His opinion of the weekend is ultimately what matters most, since it was his birthday weekend. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
