Patrick's Birthday 2013

Our friend, Matt Dassler, was in town from Germany with his family, and these men (who are now outnumbered by their children) got together on Patrick's birthday.  What a special birthday gift to be with the guys he's done life with for over 10 years!


The next night I planned a special overnight getaway with a groupon which was a boutiquey hotel off McPherson Square for $109 per night....so we took the metro...how fun was that!


We arrived in this GEORGEOUS room...I mean the picture doesn't do it justice.  The bathroom was stunning, and every room had personal reading lights, huge flatscreen and get this...even it's own keurig machine with coffee and tea pods. We had a nice view of the park.


With the groupon, we also got two welcome drinks and $25 off their restaurant for dinner.  Total awesome deal.  As an aside, I think they must get a different quality grade food for restaurants in DC.  Everything was fresher and the quality of meat and seafood was superb.    




The next morning there was an on-site Starbucks and we headed back to the metro station (and it started snowing - so beautiful to be walking with your hubby in the city in the morning snow)  and it took us all the way back to Virginia - West Falls Church.


Let's face it, we're getting older, and washed-up, and life with young kids can really be challenging.  So, it was a really CHEAP but totally memorable birthday and so fun to do one little adventure to keep love alive and also to make Patrick feel like he's the MOST loved husband in the world.  Well, he is!  Thank you my mom who spent the night with the kiddoes - truly, she makes all this possible!
