Portman had to work late tonight, so Harper and I had a girls' night out at Tysons – a little shopping, then a nice dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Coastal Flats. This was actually the first time that I've been out to dinner by myself with Harper, and it was really a different experience having dinner with someone who can't talk! Needless to say, we still had a good time. Harper enjoyed her "grouper fingers" and I had my favorite salad (and some of her fries).

Harper tossing back a cold one.

Anything tastes good if it is fried and dipped in ketchup!

Here mom, you should really try this.
