Birthday Beach Trip

This past weekend, the Rodriguez family loaded up and headed to the beach to celebrate my (Jennifer’s) birthday on Sunday.  I told Luis that the only thing I wanted for my birthday was a trip to the beach with some friends, and so that’s what I got.  The friends that went with us are very special to us.  Rosa keeps Mia in the mornings while I head to the office, and Mia absolutely adores her and her family.  Rosa’s husband, Christian, recovers furniture for a living and has made all of our mattresses for us.  Their two kids, Rey & Rosani, are precious and love Mia as if she were their own sister.  Some friends of ours loaned us a gorgeous condo on the beach, and we had a fantastic time.  It was only the 2nd time they had EVER been to the beach in their lives, and their first chance to overnight there.  Rosa told me this morning that an overnight trip to the beach was something they had "only ever dreamed of" and thanked us profusely for helping to "make their dream a reality."  They were enthralled with all of the technology in the apartment...dishwasher, toaster, electric coffee maker, microwave, and a self-igniting stove!  The big hit of the weekend was microwave popcorn....they all stood around the microwave to watch it pop!  Enjoy the pictures!!
