My husband and I went downtown (Washington D.C)  last night with some close friends to celebrate our anniversary and several birthdays that we had all celebrated between us.

We had a lovely dinner at Chef Geoff's Downtown before heading to the National Theater.

Chef Geoff's was a great choice for a pre-theater meal; it was around the corner from the theater and across from the Warner Theater, so they are accustomed to working with theater ticket deadlines. The served us efficiently and we arrived at the the theater with plenty of time to find our seats and glance through the Play Bill. They have valet parking at the restaurant, but we opted for the paid parking garage located between the restaurant and theater.

We were fortunate to get to see Jersey Boys. If you have an opportunity to see this show, I would HIGHLY recommend it.  Besides the fantastic music (I had no idea how many hits Franki Valli and the Four Seasons had over the years) it was a compelling story with a fast pace that kept us all riveted until the final curtain.

It was a great evening and one of this things I like best about living in Reston, VA; we are close to all that Washington D.C. has to offer: theaters, museums, shopping and great dining.
