Dan and I had a fun filled Valentines weekend that seemed to have a bit of an African theme without having planned it to be. We started on the 13th with an evening planned by Dan that started with dinner at the Purple Cafe followed by the Lion King at the Paramount. The show was amazing. The next morning we had brunch with mom and Amy and exchanged Valentine's Day gifts over coffee afterwards. One of the gifts we gave Amy was an African Safari planner as we tried to inspire her to plan her dream vacation. The rest of the afternoon we headed back to our house where Dan and I opened gifts. That evening it was my turn to plan for a new restaurant, so I picked the Moroccan restaurant Marrakesh. Dan was so thrilled and surprised by my pick. He had tried to guess all week and I only agreed to give him one hint...I washed his hands for him...since we would be eating with our hands. He never guessed though and all he could think of was eating pizza. A great end to the weekend came on Sunday when I had brunch with my dear friend Jill who was in town from Rhode Island. jill and I worked together in D.C. and I love seeing her.
