Hubby and I went with two other couples that are long time family friends. While we were on this trip I celebrated my 60th Birthday. Here are just a few pictures of what I did on my 60th.

I am the Birthday girl sitting at the table with the love of my life.

A special Birthday cake. Yum chocolate, my favorite!!

The waiters singing Happy Birthday with all kinds of accents and notes!!!
The next day off to Egypt to see the pyramids!! My son wrote this Happy Birthday note to me……..
I wanted to wish Mom a Happy Birthday! Not sure I'm comfortable with the symmetry of being born on Friday the 13th and visiting the Pyramids, a place renowned for ancient curses and all other manner of spooky stuff on the same day, but to each his...her own. ;) Hope you enjoyed your day and I'll see you guys when you get back. Love you! That is right I was born on Friday the 13th 60 years ago!!! Love his sense of humor.

It was a bit windy but warm and lots of dust in the air. The little numbers on our shirt are our bus numbers. Trust me there were a LOT of buses there!!!

This picture not only shows the line-up of buses but the two largest pyramids and the Sphinx. It was truly amazing to be there in person.

A close-up of the largest pyramid. Our tour guide told us the pyramid weighs over 11,000 tons. Amazing!

This is a great shot of the individual stones and how they stair step upward.

Full length of the Sphinx.

I had to take a picture of this image. Yes, even in Egypt they have one of these……….

Then we sailed off into the sunset……….

………Tired and full of awe. This is a Birthday that this girl will never forget!!

So lovely to see pictures of you celebrating your birthday, Kathysue! And, that sunset is stunning!
Kathysue, what a terrific trip. Love the photos. Those things are huge. I have not been to Egypt. Would love to see those in person. I know photos don't do them justice.

Happy Birthday. Thanks for the photo tour of Egypt...it's beautiful!!
Oh my heart be still! Egypt is a dream trip for me. I am so glad you went and are sharing your gorgeous pictures! Happy Birthday!!!
Kathy, love the pictures. What a blessing it was to share your 60th birthday with you and D on this "dream come true" trip! I have loved making memories with you over the years and this is one of the sweetest. You disprove the superstition that Friday the 13th is unlucky! Love you, Vicki
Wonderful pictures, makes me want to go there!
When I was little I wanted to become an archaeologist in Egypt, so these pictures are making me very jealous!! Ha ha. Looks like a great time!
Oh, I'm so glad you stopped by..., or I might have missed this (I know, I'm soooo bad). Happy, happy birthday! What a wonderful trip!! To see the pyramids in person -priceless! I think they're still not a 100% sure how they were actually built, lots of theories but no certainties. I'm turning 50 next year, and am planning a little trip too!
Kathysue Happy Birthday. A dream trip, lucky girl, well deserved!!

Kathysue, these pictures are amazing. What an unbelievable birthday this must have been. You look so happy, I'm just overjoyed for you. Love the shots of the pyramids, I had no idea that the individual "bricks" jutted out like that. And the shot of the sun behind is wonderful. But my favorite is that breathtaking sunset. Glorious! Hugs, Kat
Dearest Kathysue,
Happy 'belated' 60th birthday! You just beat me with 3 months and 3 weeks... But the figure doesn't mean a thing; it matters how one feels. You were having a blast of a time, as evident!
Did you know that in Germany the number 13 is considered a LUCKY number? I have one on my silver charm bracelets, bought in Germany at the time... So it is just a matter of where you are and what you believe!
Don't fret about it...
Have a great time and indeed those memories will be a treasure for the future; always to look back on with happiness in your heart!
Sunny greetings (after yesterday's rain) from Georgia,

I had no idea the pyramid and sphinx were this large...HUGE! Wow, the line of buses is huge too! I'm sure this is a birthday you will never forget! Gotta love your son's humor!

You look great at 60! I can't imagine being there in person...what a wonderful way to celebrate!
Thank you, Thank you!! You guys are so kind with your comments. I am always so reluctant to put up a picture of myself, but at my age I should be over those worries. I guess we never are though. Thank you for being so kind to me and all the birthday wishes. I just love my readers you all are the best!!
