Washington Harbor: Sequoia

Andrea and I were treated to a lovely dinner at the Sequoia restaurant by our son Adriano and his wife Lara.

Anniversary Dinner at Petits Plats

Happy Anniversary,
Christine and Andrea!

Petits Plats

For the third year in a row, Andrea and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Petits Plats. We originally chose a French restaurant because our "French" grandson Paul was born on our anniversary.

Happy Christine!

Happy Andrea!

The best part of the meal was the dessert. I had creme brulee. Yum!!!

We have decided, however, that next year we will change restaurants. This time the menu left something to be desired (no scrumptious vegetable plate for Christine). Also the service was slow. Perhaps we will go Italian next year.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

I went up to Philly for the week-end. My sister and I visited the Perelman Museum, a new addition to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

We had lunch in the Gallery Cafe.

Then we dashed over to the main building for a quick look at the Impressionists.
