River Road

Usually on our anniversary we take the day off and do something cultural and eat something lavish.  The romantic escapade ends with last minute shopping for Christmas.

Since our work schedules prohibited this interlude on the appointed day, we planned on doing all of that today.  That is, until the 60" water main broke in Potomac/Bethesda and washed away our best laid plans.  Thinking we would be without water (and we were, as the faucets featured a trickle), I ran to Safeway to stock up on some H2O.

We still went out, shopped, ate, and even looked at some tile for the kitchen before coming home to the kids, who had their Christmas vacation bonus of 2.5 hours, as the County shut down all schools due to the broken water main.

But we got everything done that we wanted to, and got to spend some time with each other.  Double bonus--I'll take that whenever I can.

Hoping that both of you have a merry Christmas...
