John Turns 53

John's birthday was the Friday before Labor Day weekend, so he took the day off and had a very nice, relaxing birthday. Mary Jo and John went to a very nice breakfast at the restaurant in the Hyatt, kayaked through Mercer Slough, and for dinner the three of us went to a wonder sushi dinner at Ginza in downtown Bellevue. For dessert  Mary Jo got a wonderful set of 12 bundt cupcakes from a shop nearby, with six-plus flavors, including White Chocolate Raspberry (John's favorite), Carrot Cake, Lemon Raspberry, and Chocolate Chocolate Chip.
