My bday at Filomenas

Yesterday was my birthday, and I couldn't have asked for a better day. The hubster was supposedly out of town until Thursday, but being the man I know him to be, he surprised me a day early. I guess you could say it was a surprise. Like I said, I know him too well and yes I was suspicious, but not until the day before. He did good. I walked into the kitchen that morning finding a vase of flowers and a card awaitng me. Who needs Proflowers when you got the Devries? So my cousins were "supposedly" picking me up for dinner, but long story short, I was able to meet and greet my knight in shining armor a day early. Surprise!




Here's the good part. We went to Georgetown and ate at Filomenas, an Italian restaurant. YUM, YUM, YUM! I can't get over how amazing the food was. It was reasonably priced, and I was so excited to have enough for lunch the next day. Unfortunately, Danny finished his plate, but if he wasn't so embarrassed by me I would've asked them to box his leftover white sauce. I don't think I could ever eat at another Italian place. At first I was alarmed with their holiday decor. It was pretty scary how many Easter bunnies there were in that place. There were bunnies in baskets hanging everywhere. Anyway, we topped off the night with a walk and a strawberry chocolate crepe at Snap, and it was just a very enjoyable evening. I felt like we were dating :) And did I mention the gorgeous weather that day? Much needed for someone with seasonal affective disorder. I did take pictures! A few of the bunnies and one of us...
