Friday was Kevin's birthday, and we spent the whole weekend celebrating.
On Friday, we went to dinner at Del Frisco's, which just opened a new location in DC. We ate delicious steaks in a round booth with a very nice view while being very impressed with the service. Granted, for what I paid for that meal I would expect to be impressed by the service. But it was still nice for everything to go so smoothly. They kept our wine glasses filled and split the bottle evenly between us. Everything was timed perfectly. And we even sat in astonishment when our server deboned and sliced the ribeye for the table next to us as though they were too young to wield knives on their own.
On Saturday Kevin wanted to tour some local breweries. We started at Forge Brew Works, which is a bit south of the beltway and described themselves as a nano-brewery, meaning they produce fewer than 1000 barrels a year. From there we went to Port City in Alexandria, where we sampled nearly everything and forewent the tour to play games and visit instead. Then we attempted to check out the relatively new Bluejacket brewery. But the two hour wait convinced us to head to Chinatown for dinner instead. I went home after dinner to walk the dog, but other people stayed out to play shuffleboard, then went back to Zach and Sarah's place to lay beer pong.
Sunday was the Super Bowl, which starts way too late on the east coast. We had delicious nachos and chicken wings and lots of beer. There was slightly too much food, which is better than the other way. I didn't end up paying a ton of attention to the game, and several of us were ready to fall asleep before it ended at 10:30. But it was fun to hang out with everyone and wonder at the number of sad dad commercials and Katy Perry's dancing sharks and beach balls.
