Chad & Heather, Tami & Todd
Limo has arrived for the birthday girl.
We rode in a white stretch limousine. It had a bar with wine glasses and ice.
We picked up another couple, Colleen and Scott.
There was more than enough room for the six of us.
Opening birthday gifts.
Heather received two pandora charms: frog (for leap year birthday) and a star (for celebrating her birthday).
Pouring the bubbly!
Arriving in Philadelphia.
The building in the picture is City Hall with at statue of the founder, William Penn at the top.
SURPRISE!
We ate at a 5 Star restaurant called Butcher and Singer Steakhouse.
"Butcher and Singer is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill steakhouse. An homage to old Hollywood, low lights and dark woods evoke a feeling reminiscent of a bygone era when women donned full red lips, men wore a suite and tie and post-Prohibition liquor flowed freely." -Butcher and Singer website
All of us were in awe once we entered the restaurant. There were huge chandeliers hanging, bull decor everywhere and wait staff that saw to your every need.
The funniest thing we saw was the bathroom doors. The women's room had Little Red Riding hood on the door and the men's room had the Big Bad Wolf. Out of character for a 5 Star Restaurant, but put a smile on your face.
I ordered a Pomegranate Martini.
Holy Schmoly, it was wickedly strong!
I haven't drank something that strong since I was a teenager turned 21.
We had a great time!
Happy Birthday Heather!
Happy Birthday Heather!
Happy Birthday Heather! Looks like you had a fabulous time and the dresses look great, good choices!

You could all be in an episode of Real Housewives of Philadelphia. Great birthday pictures, and ALL of you looked amazing! What a fun way to help Heather celebrate her 40th (Happy Birthday Heather!) Loved this post (also yours & Heather's shoes-- so pretty!)
ReplyDeleteInteresting doors- now I am off to check out the restaurant website. xoxo

ReplyDeleteYou folks really know how to throw a birthday party!:) Love those bathroom doors at the restaurant!
ReplyDeleteWow what a fun time and celebration! I love your dress mind if I ask where you got it? Your strong drink looks right up my alley! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all had a great time. I've never been to a 5 star restaurant, sounds like something to look forwarded to. Love the bathroom doors :)
ReplyDeleteKnowing how to drink is a sign of maturity. I like humor in the restroom. Why would you want to be serious in there?
ReplyDeleteHow fun for you all!
ReplyDeleteI'm cracking up at the big bad wolf door!
how fun! I'm going to be 50 in May, maybe I'll begin dropping hints! I WANT that drink!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Heather!!! I turn 30 in May and am so jealous of your pomegrante martini!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the dresses!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun night-I've never been to that restaurant although I'm originally from across the bridge : )
