Long weekend.
Matt was home this weekend for a quick visit. We had to take care of some errands (buying Matt a new cell phone since he lost his), did normal life stuff, and shared some special times too. We finally had my birthday cake and I opened gifts (that didn't come from the boys' bedroom), Matt and I had a date night, Matt and the boys enjoyed "movie night", and we shared some special time with friends at our house on Monday night.
Our date night started off rough. Matt was trying to do more things than time would allow and we got a late start, then the late start turned even later as we made our way into DC, found parking, and tried to find a restaurant to enjoy a nice dinner together. We didn't have enough time to wait for a table at any of the restaurants and ended up grabbing merely adequate food at a deli. We crossed the street to the Verizon Center, bad eating drama behind us, and enjoyed a very exciting Capitals game (hockey). I loved the game. This was only the second time that Matt and I have gone to a hockey game and we had so much fun. Leaving the arena we decided we were untapped hockey fans. Our inner-fan hasn't had many opportunities to come out. Hopefully, that will change a little in the future. If you haven't gone to an NHL game. GO! It is a good time.
Although the boys and I will be in Alabama in just two weeks, it still felt a little empty when Matt left. After dropping Matt off at the airport Eli suggested we "just walk around this town a little". It was a chilly fall day, but really beautiful, so we headed to Old Town Alexandria for a stroll. We crunched through leaves, watched street musicians, and enjoyed playing at a quirky toy store.
Tomorrow we return to life.
