NYE

So what do two married people with small children do on New Year's Eve when the grandparents happen to be in town? Go OUT, of course. Paul and I enjoyed a super meal at Bastille in Alexandria before heading over to the Birchmere for a performance by three bands, the headliner being Seldom Scene, a blue grass group. The highlight of the evening for me was parading around town with elaborate face make-up courtesy an artist at our friend Sabrina's 4th birthday party held earlier that day. Now I know what it's like to live with purple hair or a tattoo on the cheek...everyone stares. It was very amusing.
