Karl's Birthday Celebration

Yesterday was Karl's birthday, so we went out to celebrate. I took Karl to Ted's Montana Grill, a steakhouse chain that we first visited in Philadelphia. The restaurant specializes in bison meat, which is much like beef but sweeter and (supposedly) healthier.

The closest Ted's to us is in Crystal City, Arlington. I picked up Karl from work downtown and we drove there. Someone gave me a substantial gift card to the restaurant as a thank-you gift, so I encouraged Karl to go ahead and get the bison filet mignon steak. He really enjoyed it! I had a chicken "sandwich" that was too big to eat as a sandwich. It was served on grilled sourdough and covered in monterey jack cheese, onions, and mushrooms. It was so big that I ended taking half of it home.

After dinner, we walked around the shops in crystal city, many of which were closed. But it was good to walk around after that big meal.
