Weekend

Friday night we went with the ladies to CoCo Sala. We had a 9pm reservation, and we even got there a little early, but they took at least 30 minutes to seat us. Diana worked her magic and got us a complimentary bottle of champagne while we were waiting, and then when we were finally seated a second bottle arrived at our table :) good times.

Sat peter and i found and bought a dining room table we actually like! that will be delivered in two weeks, cant wait.

Sunday we flew really early to boston to surprise my mom for her 60th birthday. We had a nice day and a great dinner at l'espalier in the new mandarin oriental hotel. There was nothing vegetarian on the menu as usual, but as any good restaurant does, they told me that I could have anything I wanted and the chef would make it. This was way too much freedom for me so I said "i dont like mushrooms, asparagus, and risoto, create anything he wants". The meal came back with Israeli couscous some veggies, and falafel! for those of you that dont know, falafel is my favorite.

Sunday morning we woke up at 6am to attempt to fly back to dc. All the flights were canceled EXCEPT ours. The only problem was there was no way to get to the airport! We called usair and was on hold for THREE hours and watched our plane take off. We decided to just go to the airport, and they put us on a noon flight (which got delayed) and eventually we made it back to virginia! long long long day
