Not Decor Related At All: Ryan’s 30th Birthday

Last weekend Ryan turned 30, so we gathered his best friend & bf’s fiance for a weekend adventure.  First stop, Ryan’s parents’ house, where we did the cake thing.  His mom made dee-licious cupcakes and I made a pac-man cake in honor of the arcades we’d be visiting that weekend.

Why arcades?  Because Ryan chose to celebrate the weekend at in Seaside Heights NJ, of course.  Who wouldn’t want to rock in a new decade at the hometown of the worst reality TV show ever invented?

We discovered that the boardwalk is totally sketchtacular on a cold Saturday night in February.  Seriously, it felt like the perfect location to shoot a beachfront horror flick.

But the arcades were open and heated!

And on Sunday the sun was shining and Marucas Tomato Pies was open, allowing us to stuff ourselves on the best pizza in the entire world.  We also bought a huge one to bring home and freeze.  Yeah, it’s that good.

Then we parted ways with our friends, and set off to another town that is known for it’s abundance of beautifully-revamped 1950’s style hotels and motels.  It rocked.  Photos coming later on.

We came home Sunday night so that we could knock out a quick makeover project start a project that would take 3 nights on Monday (a holiday).
