Dear Josh:

I don't know if this is a good time, but I'm in between sessions right now.

I've been thinking about my birthday.

Love,
Sean

I hope you're not planning on coming down with the flu.

Dear Josh:

Since flu season ends in May, I hope not. I'm still sorry you had to spend your birthday that way.

No, I was thinking we could get away for a few days, assuming I'm not stuck in bed.

Love,
Sean

Go on, I'm listening. When should I put in for?

Dear Josh:

The Monday afterward; we can make a three-day weekend of it.

Dear Sean:

That sounds perfect. Where were you thinking and is there anything special you want to do while there?

Dear Josh:

I was thinking Washington D.C., since, however the election pans out, we probably won't want to be there for the next few years.

Dear Sean:

Fair point. Is there anything in particular you want to hit while we're there? Ford's Theatre? The Newseum? One of the memorials? The spy museum?

Josh

Dear Josh:

The Smithsonian museums, and I'd enjoy taking a look at the spy museum. I haven't been there since it first opened. The Civil Rights and FDR Memorials. The Supreme Court, if you'd like.

Love,
Sean

Dear Sean:

I'll start making an itinerary. Do you have any restaurants in mind? Or types of food, so I can start looking up restaurants? We should do something fancy at least once while we're there.

Love,
Josh

Dear Josh:

Unfortunately, my favorite steakhouse down there closed its doors a few years ago, and so I'll have to research a different fancy restaurant.

You will let me help plan this, won't you? I didn't propose this to give you more work.

Love,
Sean

Dear Sean:

We can plan it together. Maybe we can order in tonight and go over some ideas later?

Dear Josh:

That's a great idea.

I opened a browser window so I can start looking up restaurants.

Dear Sean:

Oh, that means I need to start building a potential list, too, doesn't it?

Also, is there anything you want me to wear or bring for your celebration? And would you like me to bake you a cake or would you rather buy one at a fancy DC bakery while we're there?

Love,
Josh

Dear Josh:

Only if you want to; we have plenty of time to plan.

However, I found a Brazilian steakhouse with a dozen types of meat, a hot bar, and a salad bar, and the prices are quite reasonable. They don't have a dress code, but I can look for somewhere that would mandate a jacket and tie if you'd like.

Bringing a cake with us would be cumbersome, but since we won't leave until after my birthday - due to it falling on a weekday this year - you could always bake us something for the actual day, and then we can go to a fancy bakery in DC while we're there, but only if you want to.

As for what to bring and wear, I need a few minutes to think over outfits, but I plan to pack up your birthday present for us to use.

Love,
Sean
