Happy Birthday Laura!

Yesterday my little sister turned 24 years old and chose to celebrate her birthday in DC with me! And what a great birthday it was…

Festivities started at my apartment with a treasure hunt – Laura is a HUGE Johnny Depp/Pirates of the Caribbean fan, so we drew out a treasure map for her to use in hunting for her gifts. (With my small 700+ square foot apartment, it was a short hunt, but still fun!) Her discovered booty consisted of money, jewelry, clothes, clothes, and more clothes, and various other loot. After presents, the family and a few friends piled into 2 cabs and headed to Georgetown for dinner at Bangkok Joe’s, where we enjoyed TONS of delicious Thai food (Laura’s fav!). Despite a minor ‘incident’ with the birthday cake (our waitress dropped the cake when putting it in the freezer – luckily it was still in the container and wasn’t too mangled), the evening got off to a great start. From Bangkok Joe’s, we walked to Mr. Smith’s for a lil’ sing-along with the piano man. After a few cocktails, mom and dad left the ‘kids’ to break loose. With increasing numbers, our crew headed from Mr. Smith’s to our usual stompin’ ground, Adams Morgan, where we partied like rockstars at Adam’s Mill and danced like fools at The Angry Inch. After topping the evening off with some Jumbo Slice, we were home safely by 3am! Whoa – What a night and what a fun birthday! I love you, little sis, and hope you enjoyed it!
