One very sweet weekend

Team Toppall had unusually great weekend this past Saturday and Sunday.  This is one for the record books!

Jeff was given the PenFed skybox tickets at the Verizon Center for "Disney on Ice".  I had never experienced sitting in a skybox before.  Oh-la-la!  This is the life!!  I am now forever spoiled having to sit in regular seats with the riff-raff.   What a great way to see a show.

We went to Occoquan for their annual chocolate walk.   40 shops were participating, handing out samples of chocolate. Really.  One gallery even had a chocolate fountain set up!  Of course it was 10 degrees outside (and felt like 0), but what a cool thing to do.  The family lasted all of 20 minutes in the insanely cold day.  I guess we have something build upon next year. 

Saturday evening had us seeing "The Lion King" at Robinson Middle School.  Wow!  These kids did such a great job.  It was very well done.  Ian and Sam very much enjoyed it and seeing the smile on Sam's face through much of the performance was priceless.  She had a great seat for all the action.

But wait, there's more....Jeff made 3 different reservations for us to do dinner on Sunday evening, which was Valentine's day.  Jeff let me decide where we would end up (all excellent choices!) and then cancelled the other 2 reservations.  How awesome was that?   It was a wonderful surprise.  I ended up choosing "Jackson's" at the Reston Town Center.  I hadn't been before and it was nice to try something new.  After dinner, we took a stroll to Teavana and I purchased 3 amazing teas, which I currently can't stop drinking. 

Throw in Jeff getting the chance to see the movie "Deadpool" earlier in the day and there you have it.  What a fun 48 hours.
