Erin's 20th Birthday Celebration

1/1/2009 We celebrated Erin's 20th birthday on New Year's Day with a trip into DC to visit the Botanical Gardens. What a gorgeous but chilly day. The gardens were beautiful except that our tour was cut short because of a mysterious package, and they evacuated the gardens. We used that as an excuse to have Erin's birthday dinner early at Yechon, her favorite Korean restaurant in Annandale. We ended the evening by driving through the Festival of Lights at Bull Run.

Brianna always outdoes us all. She decorated the box with Erin's gift inside. The gift she made her is a 3-D fish of shells they collected while they were at Virginia Beach this summer visiting Liz & Adam -- wow!!
