Birthday in Downtown San Jose

Well, the 14th of October was my birthday - Yay !!!!! Turned 30 !!! Some people would say that I'm growing old, but all I have to say, is that "Hey, I'm 30 and running wild!!!"
Anyhow, more than me, my better half - Mahi had plans for me. As it was the last weekend that parents would be with us, prior to leaving for Minneapolis, we took them to the Livermore temple. Apparently this was built during NT Rama Rao's time. It's a really nice temple, in the city of Livermore, about 40 minutes away from our place.
Post that, we came back home, had lunch, napped a bit, and then left for San Jose. The next stop was the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, in downtown San Jose. This was a really amazing place. They had a lot of mummy's, casks, jewellery, tools, models....the works. All in all a great visit.
This was then followed by good old chaat, at Chaat cafe, and then we went down to this place called "The melting Pot". This is THE place for desserts - primarily a fondue place. We had two chocolate fondues - one dark chocolate and one milk chocolate. We were also joined by Mayur and Purvi there. All in all, a day well spent. By the time we hit home, it was about 1:00 am !!
