I’ve always been someone who has loved celebrating birthdays.  So when it came time for my milestone 30^th birthday, I knew that I had to figure out something special.  A dinner party with close friends under the Golden Gate Bridge sounded absolutely perfect.  I kept the décor as simple as could be with flowers that I picked up from Trader Joe’s that morning.  I made a quick stop at Fisherman’s Wharf for the dinner – 17 pounds of steamed crab and clam chowder soup along with corn and potatoes and for dessert, chocolate cake!  The whole evening was magical – a truly serene setting.
