To celebrate the beginning of this new year, Katherine and I decided to invite ourselves to visit my sister, Lisa, and her family (Steve, Nick, Lauren and Alex) in Great Falls, Virginia -- which is about 15 miles outside of Washington, D.C. I always enjoy our visits to Washington. Lisa and her family are great fun to be with, and we typically visit some of the great attractions in our nation's capital.On this trip, we celebrated New Year's Eve with a great dinner at Morton's, at Tyson's Corner. [There are four Morton's restaurants in the D.C. area!] Of course, we all ordered a different cut of steak, and they were all excellent. We (Lisa, Steve and I) also enjoyed a really great Cabernet Sauvignon with dinner.
After dinner, we returned home and played Pictionary (girls vs. boys). The girls won! And then, to finish out the evening, we watched the Times Square New Year's Eve celebration on TV and watched the ball drop at the stroke of midnight. We also toasted in the new year with glasses of Champagne. It was a very nice evening and a great way to begin the new year.
You forgot to mention the hysterical and almost interminable laughter of two individuals at our table who will remain nameless, but which caused the table behind us to wonder if they should ask to be moved to a quieter area of the dining room :)
ReplyDeleteI did not forget! The omission was quite intentional. And yet, I'm not really embarrassed about it because we were having such a good time. Steve's joke was priceless!
