My, my - what a weekend we have had here in casa de Mangiaracina. Ed, James and Lucy did a great job to make sure my 34th birthday was special...and it was! Friday was the actual day and I was treated like a Queen. James was happy... Lucy was playful...Daddy worked from home so I could treat myself to a mani/pedi...I received some fabulous gifts (2 pairs of shoes, 2 Minions and a massage gift certificate) and was treated to a delicious dinner with a yummy margarita and ice cream in Clifton at Peterson's (family favorite!)!! It was a great day filled with smiles and love - exactly what I wanted. :)
James even surprised Mommy by spending some quality time in his bouncy chair which up until now, he hated!!
The fun continued on Saturday despite the gloomy weather. We packed up the kid and headed into Old Town Alexandria for lunch and a stroll. One of my favorite DC restaurants, Pizzeria Paradiso, now has a location on King Street in Old Town so of course we had to indulge. And to my excitement, our favorite Dogfish Head beer, Black and Blue, was on tap - Yeah!! After lunch, we walked around, did some shopping, got some more ice cream (this time at Pop's Old Fashioned Ice Cream) and then headed home to spend some quality time with our Lucy girl.
Yesterday was a little more low key. We needed the rest after the "get up and go" days we had had which are more rare these days. :) Plus, our little man is battling some tummy issues so he had a rough night which meant that Mommy and Daddy had a rough night. But we powered through and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Sweetwater Tavern with Grandma and Grandpa Q.
So there you have it. Turning 34 was pretty awesome and I'd like to thank my boys, my Lucy and my parent's for making it so special.
