Weekend Update

It was another fun and busy weekend in our house. We started off the festivities by bundling Sloane in her new winter suit and heading down to the Husky game on Thursday night. Once again she was a total champ, charming everyone sitting around us and managing to sleep through most of the exciting game (and the fight a couple of rows in front of us).


On Friday night John and I enjoyed an indulgent dinner at the Herbfarm. The theme was "Uber Tuber" aka potato and each amazing course was better than the last. We sat at a fun communal table with 7 other people and spent 5+ hours eating incredible food and drinking really good wine. Since Mimi & Bobba live just a couple of minutes away from the restaurant they watched Sloane, provided taxi services for the evening, and let us crash with them for the night. Thank you!


Saturday afternoon we hit the zoo with Nicki and Brian for the annual turkey toss. We watched the tigers tear into the raw meat that was tossed into their pen and witnessed the komodo dragon down a giant turkey leg in one gulp. My favorite animals were, hands down, the meerkats...they are even cuter than advertised. Though Sloane slept through most of this trip, we are looking forward to the many zoo visits that are sure to be part of our future.



Saturday night I hit the town with the girls on Capitol Hill. Delicious dinner at La Spiga followed by drinks at Unicorn (awesome bar) and Barca. It was a fantastic night of laughter, stories, sassiness, and shots. I reunited with one of my first loves - raspberry stoli and soda with a lime – only to awake Sunday morning remembering why we don't dance anymore. Ah, to be 22 again.
