Happy Birthday Mom

On Friday we celebrated mom's 30th birthday *wink wink* by enjoying a family dinner in Dupont Circle. We of course went to an Italian Restaurant (what other cuisine is there??)- Odeon Cafe. After two bottles of Italian wine, yummy samplers of various Italian appetizers, lots of pasta, one tiramisu and two cannoli's, we made our way out of the city. The ride home turned out to be eventful- Mom, Drew and I took the parkway while Dad and Kristina made the smarter decision to take Route 1. The heavy rain that had been falling for a few days finally accumulated and flooded the parkway, which the police decided to close just as we were approaching Mount Vernon. It is a good thing though as I don't think mom was in the mood to swim home on her bithday. We took a detour :) Happy Birthday mom- we love you! Here are some pics from dinner-
