I have to admit we got lost getting here and we had the GPS helping too, so it’s not completely our fault. The grounds here are so beautiful and truly grand. The Upstairs at the Woodlands is really upstairs, we got a kick out of that!
The dining room is very cozy and elegant and inviting. We started with a glass of wine , Maryland Crab Cake and Tuna Tartare, which we ate so fast I did not get a chance to take a photo. Boom.
For the dinner I ordered the Spicy Jumbo Shrimp and Marlene got the Bone-In Rib Eye Steak.
Merci ordered the Grilled Salmon and my sister Marianne had the Balsamic Glazed Chilean Sea Bass. I know everything was delicious because we always share our dinners. Next time I am getting the Rib Eye. Oh yeah.
The sweet rule is that birthdays are all about the cake and blowing the candles. So the evening ended with a Brownie topped with ice cream and whipped cream drizzled with chocolate. Time to blow out the candle and make a wish!
Fell in love with the chandelier in the hall and just had to take a photo of it! Wish I had the room for that beauty.
Don’t forget to celebrate all the special days in your life. Have a wonderful happy, healthy birthday and many more to come. Peace.
