Ruth's Birthday......at Apango

April 28th is a special day around here......it's Ruth's Birthday. She's 61 years young and looks fantastic. While she was working in the garden today and taking phone call after phone call, she decided she wanted to go to Apango up on 2nd Street for her birthday dinner. For us an evening of sushi is a great treat. Regarding kiting, unfortunately the wind didn't cooperate. I got skunked. I should have gone to Seal. There were 6 guys out while I watched them from Belmont.

Fortunately for us it was just a walk up Santa Ana to the restaurant....and there we were.

Come on let's go in....because the Laker game is on and I want to find out the score.

We were really lucky because we found four seats at the sushi bar right in front of Paul the sushi chef and the huge TV on the wall.

I think Sara was very excited when Paul brought us a tray of halibut. Mmmmmm.

The next dish is my favorite, white tuna. Keep them coming Paul!!!!!

This was the last plate, it was called "The Amazing Spider Roll." But in between was three more pieces of white tuna sushi. It's to die for.

Paul fired up his matches and here comes the birthday desert.

Mmmmm, birthday cake/ice cream. Very healthy.

It was an exciting end of the evening because we dragged Paul from behind the sushi bar. Everyone was happy, for Ruth's Birthday and because the Lakers won. They beat the Denver Nuggets 107 to 101 and they won the first round of the Western Conference by sweeping the series. It was a great game. Check out the highlights.
