Stephens Family Vacation, August 2009

Bloggin' Birthday Doubles!

There are many sets of twins in the Jerome & Stephens families. Johns late grandma is a twin, Johns mom Sandi is a twin, and John is a twin. There are also may "twin" birthdays: Sandi & Uncle Bill, obviously share the same birthday, (May 18th), Aunt Mary Jane & cousin Christina share the same birthday (August 3rd), Uncle Jim & myself share the same birthday (July 24th), & John & Alan, obviously share the same birthday (March 18th). It is always a tradition to get a picture of all the twins and shared birthdays together every year!

GNO @ Bucca

At least once a month my favorite group of girls and I try to get together for a GNO and a catch up session on all the good juice! I was so excited for this night out inparticular because I have been kinda "m-i-a" for the past few months and really missed my gals! (reason #1 that I don't want to move =( from San Diego...)(Chelsey, Jen, Sarah, & Heather)

We all met up at our local Bucca di Beppos restaurant and pretty much talked until our "kind & patient" waiter practically kicked us out at closing time with his quite obvious stares, rolling of eyes, & cleaning up around (on top of) us. Don't be such a hater waiter! HA HA! Thanks for the night out girls! It was fun to see you all and to catch up for sure! =)

Until next time....

Sandi & MJ both have fond childhood memories of eating there growing up in Covina, Ca. They both ordered the Big Boy Combo! YUMMY!

I also have great childhood memories of eating at Bob's Big Boy while camping at the beach in Ventura with family!
