My birthday weekend

I had a wonderful birthday and birthday weekend! It was so fun, and so relaxing. On Friday night, McGee took me to an absolutely amazing restaurant called Garces Trading Company. For an appetizer, we ordered the fresh House Made Mozzarella, which was amazing. For dinner we both ordered the Steak Frites, which includes ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT STEAK!!!  Yes, you read that right: all the steak that you can eat. It was served in a cast iron skillet, and there was a huge portion of awesome fries that were fried in duck fat (SO delicious).  You also got to pick from 3 sauces, and I picked a Bearnaise sauce, and McGee picked a Bordelaise sauce. It was beyond amazing, and it was seriously the most delicious steak I've ever had. I tried to take a few pictures, but I didn't want to use a flash in the restaurant, and there was very dim lighting... so they didn't turn out great.

Here's some of the fresh mozzarella after we'd already eaten most of it

Here's my steak frites with the bearnaise sauce! I can't even explain how delicious the steak was. 

Here's the outside of the restaurant. It was in a very cool part of Philly. 

After dinner we were going to walk around a bit, but it ended up being a very cold and rainy evening so we decided to just head home. McGee decorated one of those large slices of cake that grocery stores sell, and it was soooo cute. He wrote a "H", "B", and "E" (Happy Birthday Erin). He's going to kill me for sharing this picture, but I thought it was adorable. 

On Saturday we had a pretty relaxing yet productive day at home, and on Sunday we met up with McGee's parents for brunch. McGee's dad had just had shoulder surgery a few days prior, so he badly wanted to get out of the house for a bit. And Sunday night we watched the season premiere of Game of Thrones!!!  I'm so glad it's back, and I'm so excited to find out what happens this season. I hope everyone's doing well, and thank you all so much for all of the birthday love!!
