The oyster anniversary.

I mentioned yesterday that we were going to The Oyster Riot in D.C. What I didn’t mention is that it was a belated anniversary celebration and that my parents took our kids overnight for us. We stayed in a lovely boutique hotel, The Madera off DuPont Circle. It was lovely! Though we did wonder why we didn’t get a Sunday Post.

The event last night was loads of fun. We ate, you guessed it, a lot of oysters. A lot. And we drank a lot of wine. Some really, really good wine. Our friends came back to the hotel with us for an anniversary champagne toast and some laughs (including a discussion regarding sex in the champagne room).

As I drifted off to sleep in the luxurious bed, I imagined 10-12 hours of dreamy perfection. But alas, I was awakened at 4:10 a.m. and never really got in the zone again.

Home again, with the boys alseep. It was fun feeling so cosmopolitan last night. But there is no place like home.
