Conkle Birthday Weekend

Ry's family finally made it out to see our home and to spend the weekend celebrating early birthdays for Ry and Marty! They arrived Friday night and immediately came over for the tour and a Ravioli dinner- it was fun to have them over and catch up over wine of course.

Saturday morning we made our usual stop for Peet's coffee and then headed to Whole Foods to load up for a picnic that we enjoyed beach-side at Montage... it was a gorgeous day and we were blessed with such perfect weather, given how testy it's been! We had a picnic fit for kings and after walking around a bit and enjoying the sun, we packed up to head back home to get ready for a surprise birthday treat!

We went from beach clothes to suits and dresses and Lindsay drove us to the surprise destination... The St. Regis where Ry and I got married! I organized to have a cocktail table (the same one's we had at our wedding!) set up on the balcony next to where we had our ceremony, along with a champagne toast for all of us.

We gave Marty and Ry their birthday gifts and toasted away...

We have so many special memories here, it was so fun to reminisce and create new ones!

After our champagne, we transferred to Michael Mina's Stonehill Tavern for dinner... we had an amazing dinner with all the works... truly spectacular and a great way to celebrate TWO special birthdays :)

Sunday we slept in a bit and went to church followed by a relaxed lunch at R&D and a little shopping at Fashion Island. The perfect way to finish off what was a GREAT weekend all around! Another Conkle weekend to go down in the books... Happy early birthday to Ry and then Marty!
