Pasadena (Dec 2008) : To celebrate her birthday, Linda chose to spend the day in Pasadena. Melanie, our planning coordinator, did a great job. We walked by the Green Castle, went to Stats, had some delicious Afghani food, listened to some great Irish music (Molly's Revenge) and went to a very nice coffee shop. We'll have to do that again...
