I was thinking about my favorite birthday party today. I think about it every now and then and I actually have not idea who was there or how old I was…probably 8 or so maybe 10. We went to Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor in Escondido. It was heaven. Heaven. How did that place ever go out of business? They had so much ice cream. So many options! I think we got this big big bowl of ice cream and toppings and it was crazy delicious. I loved that place. That might have been the only time I ever went there, though. The place itself was very cool, too. If it was still there, I think I would go there all the time. I guess there is still one in San Diego. Maybe I will go there for my birthday this year….
Anyway, i was thinking about my birthday and I started remembering these charm necklaces that I loved loved loved at the time. They were so cool and I had so many charms. I am sure the majority of my presents that year were somehow charm necklace related. And I also remember the outfit I wore was from Kids ‘R Us (not related to Babie’s R Us or Toy’s R Us). Also a cool store I loved to go to. I remember when I wore size 6X. Ah, memories.

I was thinking about my favorite birthday parties today too. Because today is my birthday. Is yours coming up?
I love that Farrels in Escondido. I went there as a teenager all the time after our church dances. So many good times. One opened up here last year but we don’t do anymore since we found out K is allergic to dairy.

Oh my goodness, I remember so many pictures of me wearing those charm necklaces! I loved them so much. Kids R’US was also a biggie for us. It was the “it” place to go school shopping at that age.

I’ve been thinking about you birthday lately too, its coming up! I think I must have been a bit young for those necklaces, because I do not remember them for the life of me! :( I always wished I were older…

I’m only a smidge younger, so I DO remember those necklaces! I didn’t even need to click on the link…I knew. :-) They were soooo cool! ;-) never shopped at Kid’s R Us, though. And never went to that ice cream place. Our family went to Roxy’s in Encinitas/ Leucadia a lot. Is that still around?
