Aanya's 4th birthday and more...

Ok.. another year rolled along and my dad was too lazy to update my blog any more frequently (but somehow we seems to have time to update his Facebook page and to monitor the stock price of GOOG every minute).. My parents kicked into high gear (or maybe it was medium gear) to celebrate my birthday season (given that I usually have three birthday parties - one on my actual birthday on March 16th, one at school and for all the friends on a convenient weekend day, it is a birthday season of sugar kicks and excessive fun).

On March 16 th, we cut a small cake for my birthday and we headed out to Munich (don't ask me why my parents pick places like Munich for my vacation). Despite my apprehension about Germany being full of germs, it turned out to be a fun place and daddy and I did a lot of sightseeing, while my mom was stuck in some conference. We also went to the Neuschwanstein Castle which apparently was the Sleeping Beauty castle. My dad told me that Sleeping Beauty has now relocated to Orlando and so we could not see Sleeping Beauty at the castle.



From Munich, we went to Venice for a quick trip. I loved the pizza and the chocolates there. We went on the boats all the time and there was water everywhere. I had a lot of fun chasing the pigeons there.



And finally coming to the birthday itself - my parents organized the birthday at City Beach in Fremont where there was a lot of jumphouse fun. A lot of my friends showed up and we had a blast (see photos here). The parents milled around aimlessly (I think these jump house places need a parent care center to keep them engaged while we have fun, so they don't get cranky and throw a tantrum. They should probably have a TV with continuous re-runs of "Mad About You"). Then we ate a lot of pizza and I cut a yummy cake and enjoyed all the great presents I got. It was a fun day!! I can't wait till my next birthday next March.
