YAY, last night was Mark and I's 7th anniversary celebration (our anniversary is 8/31)...the in laws came over to watch Kieran and Connor, and Mark and I headed to Philly for our first overnight since Kieran was born.
We went to dinner at POD, where we actually celebrated our first anniversary, and had a great dinner. I wore this beautiful black satin dress and Mark bought a new shirt to wear (he was $48 full of hot...yes, that's how much he spent for the shirt, his most expensive shirt ever or so he says). Then we went back to the hotel to change into our hanging out clothes. Since I felt like I was more mom than not in my outfit-still wearing my maternity clothes since they were so comfy-I too went out and got a shirt to match my skirt ($26 full of hot, I was). Both of us then felt ready for our night on the town then, and off we went.
Our first stop was Mad Mex for a music festival that ended up being canceled before we ever got there due to the weather. They still had their margarita specials, though: 24 oz of tequila with a little fruit flavoring for $7.70. I had two martinis at dinner, and thus stuck to water, but Mark imbibed...and we had a great time catching up with each other and watching the Phillies game. We then headed over to World Cafe Live and caught the second set of the Velveteen Playboys, a great Loungy band that were more rock than Lounge.
It started pouring again during the set, and we thus were forced to catch a cab back to hotel after it was over. It was only 11:30pm when we got back to the room, but for someone who normally tries to get to bed by 10 in order to get enough sleep (yes, me), it was plenty late, and I was exhausted-and really, we had dinner at 5:30pm, so we were out for six hours-not too shabby for grandma and grandpa.
We both slept in til 9:45am (yes, it was heavenly), headed out for breakfast and a walk around UPenn's campus (where the hotel was located). The weather was gorgeous, sunny and 75 degrees, and we were really enjoying our status as a kid free (for the moment) couple. But we knew that Mark's parents would need us to get back, and soon after we headed home to relieve them. It was a great 21 hours! Thanks Mom and Dad (and Mark too).
And did I tell you that Mark got me a beautiful diamond and blue topaz dragonfly necklace...I love it! Happy Anniversary, Mark. I love you.
