Happy Mardi Gras and Happy Chinese New Year!
The New Orleans trip at the end of January was awesome – we were fortunate to catch up with our family and friends over Mardi Gras fun, and were very productive, wedding-wise. For you all, the only decision that would probably interest you would be cake flavors :). We couldn’t decide, so we ended up picking two flavors – chocolate peanut butter and white vanilla with fresh fruit soaked in heavenly strawberry syrup. Yummm.
This past Valentine’s Day weekend, Tom and I had a relaxing visit to the Whites in Vienna, VA (Washington DC area), including a fun double date to the symphony at the Kennedy Center. We came just in time between snow storms to enjoy the gorgeous winter wonderland – Kathy and Tom were generous enough to spare us from shoveling! Despite the lack of groceries, gourmet chef Kathy was still able to wine and dine us with some delicious eats.
As far as website updates, check out the new Events Map that flags the event locations and hotel for the wedding weekend. As you can see, the area is very convenient.
This coming weekend, Tom and I will both be departing on our bachelor/bachelorette parties!! Tom will be in sunny Dominican Republic, and I will be heading to a surprise destination – my bridesmaids only gave me the time to be at the airport and a packing list!
The joke is that we’ll be visiting Mt. Rushmore in S. Dakota… or is it a joke???
