Bastille Day

Bastille Day Fireworks : Prevessin, FR

On July 13th, the village of Prevessin held its annual Bastille Day festivities. The next night, the neighboring village of Ferney-Voltaire held its annual celebration. Here are a couple of photos from each villages' fireworks' display. The photos aren't the best and lack a good backdrop, but I did the best I could without a tripod attachment (Prevessin) or knowing the exact location of the display (Ferney). That said, these are definitely a far cry better than last year. Next year, I think a trip to Paris to see the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower will be in order.

100 Friends and Family: Dan

Dan : Seattle, WA

I took a few random pictures of folks at the joint birthday celebration. They were your typical friends-at-an-event kind of pictures. This one of friend Dan really stood out, though. I love the colors.

Cupcake-y Goodness

Miniature cake-y goodness from Trophy Cupcake : Seattle, WA

As mentioned in yesterday's post, a joint birthday celebration was held and the hostess brought cupcakes from Trophy Cupcake. There were four flavors: Chocolate with Vanilla Buttercream; Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting; Coconut with Coconut Buttercream, and Neopolitan. My personal favorites were the coconut and the carrot cake. YUMMY! Thanks, Irene, for providing tasty goodies for a fun party.

I'm not a huge fan of the cupcake craze, because I can make a couple dozen cupcakes for the price of four of these (~$3.50/cupcake. Multiply that by four and you've got $14.00 for what amounts to one large slice of cake.) These cupcakes, however, were the first I've had that were and are worth every single penny. Really, really good!

While in Seattle, I was part of a joint birthday party with Maya at The Garage on Capitol Hill. We both enjoyed excellent cupcakes from Trophy Cupcakes, some good food and drinks, good friends, and fun and games.
