Happy # 2

We decided to celebrate our 2nd anniversary this weekend rather than on the actual day. Tuesdays just don't accommodate a good time quite as much as a weekend. So we started off with a day trip to DC. It is a two hour trip (three if you count the inevitable DC traffic). We started off visiting Union Station. We got married in a train station so it made perfect sense. We shopped and got a bite to eat.


The train station has a food court, a few restaurants, a shopping mall, and some great architectural details (though it's not as pretty as our train station).


We then headed to a DC United/ LA Galaxy game. It had been raining the entire time we were in town (hence the dreary picture above) and the soccer game would only be cancelled for lighting. Needless to say, I was not excited with the idea of standing in the lightningless rain. And Chris was not excited about having to deal with me standing in the rain! But I traded in my dress for shorts, a tee, and a pancho. In the car I said to Chris "I wish we had a little hand towel so we could occasionally dry our faces and hands" but no such luck. However, as soon as we stepped in the gate there was a man handing out free hand towels...it's like he read my mind! Then to make it even better, when we got to our seats we realized there was an overhang over our seats and we were protected from the rain...hallelujah!


The game was fun, it rained during the first half but not on us! It was my first professional soccer game complete with Beckham...can't beat that view;) However, I was a little disappointed at the DC crowds constant booing every time he got the ball...very rude. The score: 0/0. You would think those boys could shoot and score at least once!

See the blur in white? That's pretty boy.


We then ended our weekend Sunday with dinner at the Melting Pot. It is always rated the most romantic restaurant in Richmond. The food was better than I expected. We started with a cheese fondue. Then onto the main course. I had no idea we would be cooking our own meat (if you haven't been you get a plate of raw meat and cook it fondue style). Pretty neat. We had chicken, sirloin, steak, pork tenderloin, shrimp, and lobster tail (and of course some veggies).


But the best part was the dark chocolate fondue with oreos mixed in. MMMMM. Dippers: brownies, rice crispy treats, marshmallows, strawberries, bananas, and cheesecake! Could there be anything better? I think not. Well maybe him;) Happy Anniversary Baby!
