Leading up to my 22nd birthday, my sisters and my brother-in-law asked me what I wanted to do and I honestly thought it wasn't a big deal so maybe mini golfing or going to the Monterey Bay Aquarium was enough. Little did I know they had planned something so elaborate. The day before my birthday I woke up to an envelope that contained a custom made crossword puzzle (drawn by my lil sis) and a tag with a clue.
"Across 17" was Forever21 and attached to the clue was $21. So off to Forever21 I went. Then after a mini shopping spree at the store, I got the second clue (shown below). "Down 10" was "booji" aka Tiem and Carol's nickname for "bourgeoisie". A "booji" version of Forever21 turned out to be H&M. Since I was growing up I needed to shop at a more "booji" place. Attached to the clue was $22. So clever.
In between, my lil sis and I stopped by Little Italy for some gelato. Shopping can be so hard.
Then my sister came home with a Scharffen Berger cake from Miette
We went to see X-Men First Class after dinner then ended the night with some delicious cake.
Before bedtime, I received this next clue. Down 14 on the crossword was "Fifth" and Across 5 was "coffee"
The next day started off with a drive to Blue Bottle Coffee on 5th Street
Then off to the Monterey Bay Aquarium we went!
The "special animal" as written below is the polar bear, one of my favorite animals. The clue came with $20 for me to buy a polar bear doll at the gift shop. No luck :(
The children's bib was too small for my head
After the aquarium and a stroll down Cannery Row, we had dinner at Passionfish
Then the biggest surprise came at the end of the night..
