Birthday Boy

29 Years old. Our plan was to hang out in the morning so that John could work the rest of the day but we couldn't get enough fun in so this is what we did: We went kayaking after breakfast on the Potomac River around an island, it was hot and sweaty but fun. We decided that we don't want to own kayaks like we thought we did.

Then we headed over the to US Botanic Gardens right by the capitol and saw some cool plants and just got to hang out, just the two of us. Then we went out to lunch at a great mexican restaurant that all the locals had been recommending, it was super good. We figured that we could have eaten there eight times for the price we paid for our fancy dinner we had on our anniversary, and this place was much better. I guess we just aren't fancy steak people. While we were eating we reviewed our children's needs and made goals to help them grow and progress, we really enjoyed it.

Then we decided to go see a movie even though we were supposed to be home soon to see the kids. Luckily Cari is the best aunt and she said she would be happy to watch the kids as long as we wanted. So we went to the theatre where we were given the wrong tickets and eventually saw one movie, two-thirds of another and a quarter of another. We saw 500 Days of Summer which was so fun to watch, it really did remind me of us dating (although a lot of people probably feel the same) it was a fun film. After the movie we went shopping and got dessert and got home just in time for the kids to go to bed, perfect timing.

Tonight we had friends and family over for games and birthday cake, a great ending to a great week and our last sunday in DC! Happy Birthday, I Love you John.
