Happy Valentine's Day

I know that I'm a few weeks off on wishing all a Happy V-day but Brad and I just celebrated Valentine's Day (and our 6 month wedding anniversary!) on Saturday night.

First, we went to this awesome restaurant called the Blue Duck Tavern in DC. Our fabulous friends Lauren and Max (Lauren is a great buddy of mine from elementary school) got us a gift certificate for our wedding and we thought that V-day/half-year anniversary was as good a time as any to use it! We seriously gorged ourselves with course after course of excellent food - crab gratin for an app; NY Strip (for Brad, clearly) and Lobster for me, an awesome bottle of white wine recommended by the sommelier and then shared a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. SO good, I'm drooling just thinking about it - thanks Lauren and Max!

After dinner, we went to our favorite place in town, the State Theater for a jazz concert featuring Maceo Parker - a legendary funk and jazz saxophonist. The man is 65 and can still seriously get down! It was a great show but did get a little repetitive after a while - seriously, if I had a dollar for every time he said the words funk or funky, I could retire.

Hey guys! Glad we could help make your V-day a special one! Isn't that restaurant great? Also, I love the pics from Philly (before and after the b.y.o.t. experience). Erin, thanks for sending me a link to the blog today - you know I'd hate to miss out on seeing Duke in a bodysuit, it's definitely my favorite look on him!
