I turned 30 this year.It actually wasn't that bad. I had a harder time with 29.
Jeff planed a weekend-extravaganza for me. My parents came up and stayed with the girls while we were gone. Thanks very much Mom and Dad!
.We left home around 4:30 and went to an early dinner at my favorite restaurant: The Rhinelander. The fondue is amazing, the chicken schnitzel is great, and the atmosphere is so fun. I highly recommend it.
Then we went to our hotel and got checked in.
We stayed at the Hotel Monaco in downtown PDX. It was really nice. The gal checking us in looked up our reservation and then told us that we had been randomly selected to receive an upgrade...to the Penthouse Suite! I'm still not convinced that Jeff didn't plan the whole "upgrade" thing, but it was a REALLY nice room. And huge. My sisters have lived in smaller apartments.
Then we walked over to Pioneer Place to see the movie RED. It stands for "Retired, Extremely Dangerous." We loved this movie and highly recommend it - so funny! John Malkovich was hilarious.
Jeff had scheduled full-body massages for us at Dosha, so after a yummy breakfast in our hotel room, we headed downstairs (I loved that the spa is in the hotel). 
After a very relaxing hour we headed back to our hotel room, got our stuff together and checked out. Jeff then took me shopping - he made me try stuff on and buy some new clothes. This by itself is amazing. Jeff HATES shopping. I did find a new skirt (for 90% off, too!) that I love.
After shopping we went to lunch at Marie Callendar's - another of my fav restaurants. Chicken pot pie is soooo yummy!
We finally headed home around 2pm and were greeted by Jeff's parents, as well as the girls and my parents. We watched the Duck game and had pizza and ice cream cake.
This was by far the best birthday weekend ever. I was totally spoiled and got to spend almost 24 hours of uninterrupted time with Jeff.
Thank you Jeff for the fabulous time. I'll let you ride this wave for awhile!

Hey, I turned 30 too! When was your birthday? Your birthday weekend was awesome, way better than mine. All I got to do was go to the Dr. and go grocery shopping for Thanksgiving.
Oh my gosh, that sounds amazing! Can I please order a birthday weekend like that for my 30th?! I'll have Sean call Jeff and get the info. Seriously, though, it sounds like you had a blast! [Sean turned the big 3-0 this year too. Yeah, he didn't get that kind of royal treatment either!]
What a weekend! I remember you telling me about your fun birthday! Jeff did a GOOD job planning it! I am SO glad you were able to enjoy yourself!
Happy Birthday! You make 30 look good!
Well, it looks like Jeff just won the husband of the year award! Don't tell Judd I said that! That sounds like heaven.......
