More photos from the place we mention here on my Around and About post, if you missed it. The bakery's website is here where you can scroll to see what they have to offer. No photos of the dishes though. This is when we were celebrating Gregg's birthday on the 18th. We had a lovely time.
Gregg had his eye on these leather sofas and as soon as they were vacated we moved over from a table we had been sitting. They were very comfortable.
A part of the wall behind us is covered from top to counter with plants. I didn't inspect it to see if they were real, but if not they looked it.
Our darlings on the other side.
Here they are ordering our sandwiches.
I chose this one. It was called The Jack of All Trades, an excellent breakfast sandwich.
This was son's order or it could have been our daughter-in-law's and am not sure what it was called. Gregg had the same as me.
I will have to study the menu more the next time we go.
The pastries looked good also.
I put the Birthday Boy in the place of honor in center of the collage.
I have been playing with a collage app I downloaded on my iPad. I am not sure if photo collage is its proper name, but this is its symbol.
Gregg enjoyed his birthday and we all had an excellent time at the bakery.
I hope you have had a great week and I wish you all a very enjoyable weekend.
Looks like a great place. And these are wonderful photos of both of you!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet of you to say, thank you Ginny :)
DeleteHappy Birthday to your husband, Gregg. Looks a nice place for lunch there Denise.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret, he will be quite chuffed to see all these birthday greetings :) It's a lovely place and we look forward to going back sometime.
DeleteA very Happy Birthday to Gregg. That looks like a wonderful place to celebrate with the people who are dear to him.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sue, I will tell him you wished him a Happy Birthday. It certainly was a fun place to celebrate :)
DeleteLooks like a great place to eat with a lot of good foods. Even their chalk board menus look so pretty. So nice to see the pictures of everybody, too! Looks like a wonderful birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Rita, I am happy you enjoyed seeing my post and all our photos :)
DeleteGreens for breakfast somehow just doesn’t seem right! Happy birthday, Gregg.
ReplyDeleteNo spinach for you!!! LOL! Thank you for the birthday greetings David, he will be happy to see them.
DeleteLooks like a great place for breakfast. Gregg looks very happy in all the photos, great family photos. Take care, happy Friday! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, he did have a great time as we all did. A new place (for us) to add to our weekly eat-outs :) Happy Friday and have a great weekend to you also :)
DeleteWhat a nice place for a birthday celebration. The leather couches look like such a comfy spot to sit and enjoy yourself. Both sandwiches look really good. Love your daughter in laws crocheted sweater. So bright and fun
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann, they certainly were. So glad you enjoyed our d-in-l's crocheted dress. She has made some beautiful pieces, including a lovely throw for me that's been keeping me nice and warm on these chilly evenings :)
DeleteCool wall:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! 🎈
Thank you for both Sandi, much appreciated :)
DeleteLooks like a nice place to celebrate a birthday. That plant wall looks great; the leather couches comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, it certainly was a great place to celebrate :)
Deleteyour family is always laughing and smiling. you are blessed. I like that wall and showed it to bob and said I want to lose the mirror, we could do this, but if they are real they need water if they are fake how would I get the dust off. looks like a really nice comfy place to eat
ReplyDeleteVery kind of you to say Sandra, we do enjoy each other's company immensely. As for the wall, I agree with you completely. Lovely to see and would be lovely to have but....
DeleteThe leather sofas certainly look comfortable and the room is airy and spacious. I like the plant wall.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janice, I enjoyed the openness of it all, and that plant wall :)
DeleteHello Denise :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy family gathering. Lovely photos of you all. Happy Birthday Greg!
Hello Sonjia, so kind of you! Thank you very much :)
DeleteThe place looks really lovely. The plant wall is such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie, glad you enjoyed. I thought it was a clever idea also and very added a nice feature to the surrounding decor :)
DeleteNow I am hungry for one of those delicious sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of the family. did your DIL crochet the beautiful top she is wearing?
Hugs Cecilia
Me too Cecilia, I think we will be going back next week sometime. Thank you so much and yes DIL crocheted her top. It's beautiful isn't it? She is very clever and has made several things. Sending hugs :)
DeleteDenise, didn't realize just where you live in VA but looked up the website and was surprised to see Fairfax. In high school we moved to Fairfax County near Burke Lake Park and I attended West Springfield HS. We went to church in Fairfax. My husband attended Edison HS and grew up in Franconia. We met at Burke Lake Park where we both had summer jobs when we were in college. What a small world. I know that area is really built up since I lived there. My brother in law still lives in Springfield and my sister lives near Tysons so when we return for visits it's quite a shock to see the changes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely coincidence Marcia. Thank you for sharing all that, names of which I know very well. We have been to Burke Lake Park and now I'll know it's where you and your husband met, such a small world. We have lived here for over 30 years when we moved from California. Gregg was born in Norfolk and is a Virginia boy through and through. It certainly has changed! We have so much building going on including road works all the time. It never stops!
DeleteInteresting place to go and eat. The birthday boy will remember it.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly will Red, thank you :)
DeleteThat looks like a spot I'd really enjoy. Love the greenery wall! That is a fabulous collage you were able to create. I'll need to see about downloading that app. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen, and the collage has dozens of designs that are fun to go through :)
DeleteHappy birthday, Gregg! What a nice place to celebrate. God bless.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gigi :) he certainly did :)
DeleteYou all look so happy! And this looks like a grand way to celebrate. I really do love the plant wall.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie, we had a very special time and isn't that plant wall a pretty one? :)
DeleteLooks like a great wee quirky place :-D
ReplyDeleteIt was and a lovely way to put it Ananka :)
DeleteHappy Birthday Greg!
ReplyDeleteThank you from both of us Christine :) much appreciated.
DeleteWow what a wonderful outing! That couch looks amazing. I want one! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful couch I agree, would love one myself :) Thanks Val!
DeleteThis is a great looking, happy family celebrating. The food looks like something I would like.
ReplyDeleteMe too Sandra, I am looking forward to another visit sometime :)
DeleteIt looks a very enjoyable birthday celebration.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs Denise.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan, happy you enjoyed and all the best from me too :)
