Brian's parents came out to visit for a week and that came with a perk.  They watched the kids on Friday night, so we could have 9 glorious hours to ourselves.  We caught the metro to downtown DC and I made the rookie mistake of wearing heels.  Apparently, that's what NOT to do because you have to walk everywhere.  As I looked around I realized, you either go for the comfort even if it doesn't match...nobody cares or wear flip flops and bring heals in your purse.  Luckily, I was able to find some cheap flip flops that saved my blistery feet the rest of the evening.  We walked to Chinatown and enjoyed a yummy dinner at Pho DC.  (The last time I had Vietnamese food was during high school back in Hawaii. It has been that long!)  Then onto Warner Theatre with 2 free tickets to watch Brian Reagan, a stand up comedian.  Not exactly my type of comedy, but he was still pretty funny and I caught myself laughing out loud until my cheeks hurt along with everyone else.  It was fun! Afterwards, we ended up a Puerto Rican restaurant called Rio for some drinks and dessert.  And then it was time to catch the metro home.  8 years and 2 kids later.  Happy Anniversary!

p.s. How come when you get a chance to stay out late (which is not very often), your kids decide to get up at the crack of dawn?
