The four of us have been talking about it forever, and finally made it happen: champagne and oyster night. We met them at Blood and Sand, which is this swanky little craft cocktail restaurant off Washington Ave.

I didn’t get any pics of our food, because I was living in the moment, and forgot. 💜

It was good though. Very good.

After dinner, we ended up in a cutesy little champagne bar over in Lafayette Square.

And eventually headed upstairs to Bailey’s Chocolate Bar, where I had somehow never been previously. It was incredible. Just the smell alone was worth the trip.

As always, the conversation was amazing. They just get us.

We’re already planning the next get-together.
