Birthday at Marina Bay Sands

For my birthday last weekend, Jimmy surprised me with a night at Marina Bay Sands. It's one of the most well known sites in Singapore.  It's a hotel/casino/mall all in one - we also had our wedding dinner there last year.  It has an infinity pool on the top floor that's one of the top 10 pools in the world so it was pretty cool to hang out there.



Jimmy also took me to dinner at Hide Yamamoto which is a Teppanyaki/sushi restaurant.  We had several courses and all of the food was amazing.  It was a bit more upscale than Benihana so there was no yum yum sauce or onion volcano.  As we were eating our dessert course, they came out with a separate cake and sang Happy Birthday to me - they even spelled my name right on the plate!!



Jimmy had reservations to take me to the all you can eat chocolate buffet at the top of Marina Bay Sands after dinner but after eating dessert plus a slice of the cake I couldn't handle a dessert buffet - this may be the first time I've turned down desserts!!  We ended up going back to the infinity pool after dinner to check out the night views of Singapore which were beautiful.  I had a great birthday and I'm glad we got to stay at Marina Bay for a night so we could check it off our Singapore bucket list!
