My Birthday Celebration

Another fun staycation date with the hubs for my birthday this year! We stayed in downtown DC again and packed a lot into about 18 hours!

Derek got off early and arrived home with my 14th annual cookie cake for my birthday!  I LOVE this tradition and this year he got a delicious one from a local bakery!

 
Then, we headed downtown to start off the staycation with a visit of Ford's Theatre where Lincoln was shot. It was absolutely surreal standing near such a historical location, one that changed the country and the world! They had original clothing, pillows with blood stains, the actual gun and so much more.

Then we went back to the hotel room, had a snack and took a nap. Yes, a nap. It was glorious.

After our nap we grabbed a bit to eat and freshened up for our cooking class at Sur La Table. Despite not having any drinks to sip while we cooked, it was a great class and the food tasted delicious!

We then took the Metro back over to the Willard and had drinks in their bar called The Round Robin. It's always rated among the top bars in DC and the drinks were very unique but yummy!

After that, we walked back to the hotel and hit the hay. The next morning we enjoyed conversation over yet another meal without kiddos before doing a bit of shopping and heading home. Couldn't have done it without the in-laws but it was a wonderful time!
