Last night I had the pleasure of driving up to Newport Beach to have dinner with my old Cincinnati family, the Bodnars, in honor of Mark's 50th birthday. We had a great meal at a seafood place call Wildfish, one of the restaurants in the chain of Eddie V's. For those of you that choose to venture up to Newport Beach, I highly recommend it. I had a seafood salad with shrimp and crab and it was delicious. We also shared some fabulous desserts, with the pineapple upsidedown cake winning the award for most delicious. I found that kind of surprising and am not sure I've ever actually had pineapple upsidedown cake (other than as a shot).
Marissa is finishing up her internship with the Ellen DeGeneres show and Bo is on break from college in Minnesota. Marissa and Julie are driving cross-country back to Cincinnati on Monday and then Marissa is flying to Greece with a group of kids from her school later next week.
It was great to catch up with them. What a fun bunch. Happy birthday, Mark! You don't look a day over 48....
