Happy Birthday to Us!
We had a lovely birthday. Yes, that’s a royal “we,” since Bertrand and I share a birthday. It works out pretty well, since neither of us can forget. Last year, he got to pick the event (going out to dinner), and I got to pick the venue (the only sushi joint in Freetown). This year; we both agreed we needed to do something relatively peaceful.
I started out the day with a quick run. It’s addictive. I was going to stop and take pictures of the sun rising over the Patomac, but I was in the middle of a “run” cycle of C25K, and didn’t want to cheat (not cheating my reps/ runs is kind of a “thing” for me).
Then brunch! Liberty Tavern is one of my favorite brunch joints here in Arlington. It can be hard to find an upscale place where the food is good AND the atmosphere is toddler friendly. My parents drove down (no, I didn’t get ANY pictures), and we had a lovely brunch, followed by a quiet afternoon at home.
What a great way to ring our next year together!
Glad you had a nice day! Liberty Tavern is the best. The only worthwhile brunch in the DC area as far as I’m concerned. :)

Alex, I think it was you who recommended it to me initially! I *do* miss my days of boozy mimosas and Irish coffees for Sunday breakfast, but with the kids? Liberty Tavern’s the best bet in town.
