This weekend was my birthday, and what a birthday it was. Kathryn's birthday was also last week -- Thursday -- and so she and I arranged our own birthday party at the beach! We drove down to Virginia Beach for the night, got a couple of hotel rooms, and had a grand old time with a few of our friends!
When we arrived, Dan and Kathryn and I took a long walk down the beach, which was windy and colder than we had hoped, but lovely nonetheless. Soon afterwards, Dave and Eric arrived, and we went out for dinner at an AMAZING pizza restaurant called Pi-zzeria. One particular combination of gorgonzola, pine nuts, and spinach was especially delicious. As was the sangria.
After dinner, we went a bought Apples to Apples and just hung out in the hotel room playing games and drinking "juice." I was stunned at how well everyone got along and how much fun it was, since it was, in some ways, a new combination of people. But everyone was in really good spirits, got along really well, and it was incredibly fun.
The next morning, we went out for breakfast at a local diner, and then drove home. Later that afternoon, we went to see "Smart People," which was sub-par, and then we took the ferry to Surry and ate at the Surry House, a cute little family-type restaurant with good Southern food. Surry was a cute little town, and very reminiscent of the midwest.
I went to bed on my birthday night totally satisfied and grateful for my friends. It was a wonderful day! Pictures to come when I gank them from Dan.
