An Evening well spent

Happy Father's Day!

Last night we went to my parents house to celebrate father's day, we had a wonderful dinner accompanied with appellation wines. A Bordeaux from France.

We started the evening off helping prepare the meal, and Mr. B got to grill the filet mignon, my mom likes it well done and the rest of us like it medium rare (so he did a great job!). He loved his new Life Factory water bottle (and I knew mom would want to borrow it so I got her one as well, in pink), bamboo bowls for when they go to Wolf Trap, and an Alsatian Riesling.

Before dinner we got a tour of what is new to their garden...

And a very sweet surprise of baby bunnies

We had mini crab cakes, salad and a dry Gewurztraminer. While Mr. B finished up at the grill, and for the humidity and keeping the bugs away, all you need is a house fan. 

The filets were perfect and tender, and the grilled asparagus, sauteed mushrooms and caramelized onions were a perfect pairing.  

After Dinner we enjoyed a nice long walk with both our pups, Sydney is ours (an Australian Shepherd/ black-tri), and Foster is my parents (chow chow mix and Keeshond).

After dinner we enjoyed homemade strawberry pie, back on their deck we enjoyed their energy glowing lights, and rope lights. We love having dinner outside on their deck, it makes us feel as if we are in Puerto Rico again.

I love their trumpet vine, drawing in hummingbirds while we eat.
