John's Birthday Celebration

For the first time since AJ was born, we managed to escape a full night away! My mom graciously offered to babysit her first born grandson (didn't even have to twist her arm or anything!). AJ did very well with her. He slept perfectly for them, played a ton, ate a ton, and pooped a ton for them. Yes, I said he pooped a ton. Must have been my mom's amazing lasagna (which I'm so happy to have been able to take leftovers home the next day!).

John and I got a hotel in DC--a suite in the Omni Shoreham hotel. The hotel was very beautiful and the suite was as well. We checked in, changed, and worked out together in the hotel gym for the first time in two years! It was a great workout--I'm still sore! We went back, showered, relaxed, and ordered room service for dinner. A bunch of our friends met us at the hotel for the Redskins game. After the game was over, we hopped over to Adams Morgan for some fun at our old favorite place--Tom Tom's. The place was great and had some really great DJ's. The bathrooms didn't change--same old gross bathrooms. I was very thankful that DC is smoke free. I love it! Here are a few pictures from the night.

The group of us. Some of the guys look really scary. Smile please!

Us girls! Suzanne, Clare, and myself. It's awesome to have such close friends who have significant others that are close as well! It makes for some really great nights!

Needless to say, Sunday was a recovery day for John. I happened to be just fine. I woke up really early as usual and immediately started to miss my little man. John, on the other hand, couldn't wake up for anything. I took the opportunity to relax that morning and watch some TV without any interruptions. We checked out and went to get our little boy. I missed him so much, I ran to the door of my parents house to get in to see him. I think he missed me too, although he had a blast. All in all, a great weekend!
