Family Time . . .

This past weekend was all about family time. Thursday we went to dinner at Mon Ami Gabi in Reston Town Center for my husband's birthday dinner. We were a group of 11 (8 adults and 3 kids). Here’s my review of the restaurant that I posted on opentable.com.

"Went here with a group of 8 adults, a 3 year old, 1 1/2 year old, and a 7 month old for my husband's birthday. Typical Reston Town Center kid friendly upscale restaurant. The server was very attentive and patient with the group. The majority of the group had steak and frites. They were very tasty and large portions. I also had the french onion soup - very yummy. For dessert, we had Grand Marnier Souffle. Great way to end the meal. The wine list is pricey (no bottles under $50) but the bottles we had were good. Had a french martini too but have had better although the bar area is a nice place to hang out."

Sunday we were pleasantly surprised by a visit from my cousins. We convinced them to stay until the afternoon and so we had Pho for lunch, went shopping at BCBG, and then watched the boys play in a co-ed flag football league. The Pho restaurant was more expensive then others, but Mike thinks it is his new favorite in the area so we’ll definitely be back. Apparently Muri and Paul are regulars. The summer rolls were very good. BCBG was having a blowout sale and I had to refrain from overspending but I did score a cute summer top that was marked down $29 from $118! Gotta love living by the outlets. Lor and Muri also bought a couple of cute dresses. The football game was a slaughter, but Noah enjoyed watching his daddy and uncles. They didn’t do THAT bad though considering the team met for the first time less than an hour before the kick off! Oh well, more family fun planned for next weekend. Stay tuned.
