Happy Birthday Zaza!

We celebrated my mom's birthday at Berkeley Dog in Irvine. k and n call her "Zaza" because she wanted a name other than "Grandma". At first, we thought "Sasa" would be cute, but k started saying Zaza, and it stuck.

We had fun playing with the Coke Freestyle machines. D made raspberry lemonade, cherry vanilla coke and orange coke, mixing diet and regular.


I think it is funny that there is a Berkeley Dog near UCI, and that these are the flags they chose to decorate the store. I realize that they have to pay homage to Berkeley since they serve the hot dogs from Top Dog, but it just seems weird. At first, I thought maybe they had all of the UC schools, but instead they just had a select few. Also, they had a helmet signed by Aaron Rodgers. I also find it funny that there are streets right around UCI named Stanford, Berkeley, and Marquette. I think UCI has a bit of an identity crisis. I noticed this Top Dog serves asian desserts (green tea, red bean sundae, etc.) Maybe that's the UCI touch? Actually, that comment would apply to several UC schools, so never mind.

Anyway, after dinner, the kids went home with my parents, and D and I headed out for our date night...more to come.
