The Calm Before the Storm...

I'm really lucky to have the opportunity to go on regular dates with my significant other even though we live together, and to say this has been a blissful weekend is an understatement; much of what I write here will be geared toward the blended family and fun (and usually off the beaten path and away from the large crowds) things to do with your love when you have the time...hopefully it will spark an idea for you (and maybe you will share one with me!).  It started Friday with the amazing brick oven pizza from  Pizzeria Moto at Doukenie Winery's "Bistro Night" (my new favorite default place to spend a Friday night...paired with their Sauvignon Blanc!)...  Saturday brought Olney Ale House for dinner and "The 39 Steps" at the The Olney Theatre- good show, clever how four people did it all!  Ending the weekend with checking out the new STARZ series "Magic City" (not bad- saw female and male butts within the first minute lol) and a great dinner; I promise we did do some housework in between, but took most of today to clear our minds (ok, I should have been clearing the boys' closet but last time I checked that mess will sti ll be there tomorrow.  The calm before the storm...tomorrow starts another full week, not to mention continued much welcomed rain (hoping it will lift the campfire ban by Friday so we can do our camping trip for the night!)...but until then will enjoy each other and some Orange Ricotta Pound Cake!
