For our 13th anniversary, Nate planned a really fun date. He asked our sitter to watch all 6 of the kids (don't think we had ever left Marta) and we went to Georgetown early in the morning. He arranged to have us take a bike ride to a great restaurant called Founding Farmers. It is run by a farmers group out of the Midwest. The food is really delicious. Then during our breakfast date, 13 roses were delivered to our table!
I cried! I was so overwhelmed and everyone was looking at us. The young waitress kept saying, "Girl live it up. If these were my roses, I would be taking a lot of selfies. This made my day seeing these roses!"
After breakfast we left the roses (because we rode bikes) and then came back to get them once we got to the minivan. I was really excited by then! So we pulled up in our minivan and I walked in and said really loudly, "I am hear to pick up my 13 roses!" By that time the brunch crowd had arrived and everyone was staring. I loved it!
Later that day, we took the kids to our wedding reception site. We were not able to get into the banquet hall but we tried to sneak in through the back elevators and secret stairs. We still could not get in so we just looked at the sign and left. Happy 13th anniversary to us!
My sister took me to that restaurant when I was in DC to visit last! It was yum! My sister lives in Arlington. Is Top of the Town near there? Your reception is one I'll never forget--just beautiful. That, and we camped at a campground in Haymarket and got ready and drove in for your wedding. hahah!
ReplyDeleteThat's so fun, Andrea. Midwest farmers are probably from Ohio :)
