Madd Max Head To The Simpson House Inn

Taisie and Richard got Jess a gift certificate to this BnB they had stayed at, in Santa Barbara.  After leaving work a little early, they arrived at the Hayloft Suite.

Complete with fireplace and private balcony. 

Where this was waiting.

 

And wine and apps were enjoyed. 

On this veranda.

Not a bad way to start a birthday weekend.

The turn down service was fab.

Post apps, a walk down State Street where this marquee was very apropos.

And an ice cream sundae was shared.

Upon return to the Inn, some fresh baked cookies and wine.  Heaven.

Madd Max Gets A Birthday Celebration

At Auntie Jamie's house, where the traditional Friday night pizza was followed by Doan's white chocolate coconut cake, the cake Tom Cruise gifts people for Christmas.

 

Celebration crew.

 

Jess had shared with Kathleen that Erewhon sold $20 individual strawberries, seen here.

Kathleen made a custom version, and Jess could not stop laughing. 

She also got Jess these.

At 11am, the MEME gang made sure everyone was awake post-sleepover to create their character sheets.

Then it was time for the Dungeon Master to take over, and everyone to thoroughly enjoy themselves for the next 5 hours.

Dinner, post DnD.

Bedroom chilling.
