Life in the Suburbs

I think of myself as a city girl, but I really love the time we spend with my soon-to-be-in-laws in the suburbs of Washington DC.  

Today we did suburban things including but not limited to - 

Sitting by the fire:

...and looking at baby pictures (name that Boo!):

Shopping for butcher blocks:

...and backsplash tile (project to hopefully come soon!)

And talking about our wedding a little lot.  

After our requisite trip to Costco (sorry - no pictures to document that portion of the trip, it was too crowded and we had big screen TVs to look at)...we headed to dinner.  Amongst my favorite things about Boo is that he loves to share agrees to share his meals with me.  Doesn't food always taste better when you share it with someone?  Here's what we had:

Seaweed salad over a bed of cucumber noodles:

Spicy tuna cubes (or in laymen's terms, XL-sized tuna tartar):

And our crowning achievement: a massive sushi plate for splitsies (say that 5 times fast) featuring ikura (salmon roe), crab, octopus, eel, saba (mackerel), tuna sushi, salmon sushi for Boo and salmon sashimi for me - 

Have you ever seen salmon sashimi -  or any other fish for that matter - formed into roses?  Me either. But they were tasty.  Extra ginger, of course. 

After a little more wedding talk, we were craving something sweet, and took a trip to 16 HANDLES.  

You might be thinking.  Is 16 HANDLES on her wedding diet?  Come on...everyone needs to live a little.  Here's what we had:

More fun to be had tomorrow...

Do you live in the city or the suburbs?  What's your favorite suburban activity?
