Dear Mom:
We’re very excited to celebrate with you this weekend! You asked us to select a Downtown spot for your party, but we found so many options, we decided to let YOU pick. Here are some suggestions; If one isn’t enough, I’m sure we could work out a visit to two or three. DTLB has plenty to offer on your big weekend! We’re looking forward to being with you on Saturday & Sunday.
With Love,
Your Fam
