Living near DC and Northern Virginia, we have a lot of wonderful restaurants that I want to try. Unfortunately we don’t always get out to try them.

Oh, we go out often. We try to do something every other week, and once a month we have a nice ‘date night.’  We didn’t always make it a priority to go out and spend time with each other, but now that we’ve made it a routine, we are happier for it! We get dressed up, I even put on makeup, and go out.

But we usually stick with restaurants we know and love.  Last month we went to The Melting Pot - probably my favorite restaurant! But the month before that, we did go to a new place in DC. One we have been wanting to try for about two years.

Tonight, my original plan was to try a restaurant in DC called “Founding Farmers.”  But I was too slow. The only reservation I could get Wednesday was either 5:15 (don’t think we can get down there in time) or 9:15 (too late for me!).

So, we are going to try a nice seafood restaurant about 45 minutes from our house.  Looks lovely, and they have oysters and scallops, so I’m set!
