Chris: Inconceivable! Me: Uh, actually…

A year ago today, Chris and I were in Washington DC, doing the tourist thing.

Wait what, you snapped the picture? I wasn't ready!

Innocuous enough, right?  Well, it was.  Until we left DC, and found ourselves up in the gorgeous mountain town of Frederick, Maryland.

We decided to go out for dinner, and I looked around online at various review sites until I stumbled across this great-looking restaurant called Cacique, that specializes in Spanish and Mexican cuisine:

I had a half pitcher of sangria, Chris had an amazing mojito or two, and there was also some food eaten, but let’s be real: the alcohol is the real star of this story.

Back at the hotel, we got our freak on.  And then I got sick in the toilet, which was really sexy (not).

LITTLE DID WE KNOW then that eating at Cacique made me pregnant.

Happy Conception Day, dear Maia!

    since I’m through with my baby making stage, remind me NOT to eat here! :-) I raise a glass to you all!

    Happy Conception Day! I know the day that my little one was conceived too. And surprisingly it also had to do with a little vacation in the States and lots of alcohol. In my case, I blame it on the Patron. :)

    Yay! Happy conception day Maia.

  • Cara says:

    Maia was conceived just down the road from me! I don’t know if I’d call Frederick a “mountain town” though.

    @humps: funny enough, we’re heading down to vacay in the US again this month… my mom is like “bring the birth control!!”

    @Cara: Huh, I seem to remember it being in the mountains. But it was a reeeeally long trip (drove from here down to Florida, then took another route from Florida up to here) so I may be confused.
