WOW WHAT A WEEKEND!! The family had a nice little fun filled, jammed packed weekend. So packed, that i'm still working on posting this darn thing days after! So here it goes.....
Friday - Chris and I decided to take off in order to take care of some very important and long over due pampering. We started things off by taking advantage of the absolute perfect weather downtown. We did some shopping in Georgetown, grabbed a nice little bite, followed by some amazing massages at The Four Seasons. Highly recommend the "Pennsylvania Ave" massage if you ever have the opportunity. We ended up getting a room, picking up the kids and spending the night there. We had dinner at a great restaurant called Pizza Paradiso. I remember when it first opened thinking it would never last. But man, was I ever wrong!! This place is awesome! Very authentic Pizza! The buffalo mozzarella is amazing, melts in your mouth! We also tried their bruschetta(for the record, it's pronounced like this, not like this) that had mozzarella and cherry tomatoes, man.....so good! Make sure to eat downstairs to get the true italian authentic "pub" feel. This place is 5 stars in my book!
Saturday - We woke up bright and early and had a nice breakfast at the hotel before going for another walk, grabbin' some starbucks and heading home. Then Chris' mom came over to watch Nico while Chris, Olivia and I headed back downtown to catch a Nat's game! Olivia was completely beside herself and quickly became one of their biggest fans! On the way home we hit the Lost Dog Cafe in Arlington. Again, another five stars in my book! Their selections of subs, pizza and beer are pretty impressive and some are actually good for you too! I highly recommend "Billy's Philly", one of my favorites. Chris really likes "The Muttly".
Long story short, we had a really great weekend jam packed weekend and here are the pics to prove it! Hope all is well!
Version 3 has come with some pretty major changes, and trust me, there are plenty more to come! However in the meanwhile, please feel free to chime in and let me know your thoughts on how you feel things are coming so far!
Okay folks, looks like we've made some major progress with the folks at google and redirecting our DNS. Gotta give a big shout out to my boy adam over at googleapps for helpin' me out through some difficult times. Couldn't of done it without you man!
Anyway, this looks to be a monumental step in getting us new customized layouts and designs for our blog! Are you as excited as I am?
I just quickly wanted to check in and report on a few things as the summer already seems to be passing us by!
First, as you can imagine, I'm having issues with transferring the blog over to the new www.scappadc.com site. Back off, i'm workin' on it!
Secondly, Nico's turning into a chubby little animal! His colors are really starting to come into focus as he's beginning to develop his, albeit limited, personality. He's really laughing away these days and Olivia has no problem being the center of his attention! It's truly amazing to see him focus all of his attention on her. It's almost like he's able to make a distinction between grown ups and kids somehow! It's cool to see how they're already slowly beginning to form that fraternal bond and plotting their evil plans to take over the roost....then the world!;)
I'm trying to keep the pics coming, so I'm posting some from a couple of recent trips to the shore. Actually 2 different shore lines to be exact. The first was to Harrington Harbor in Southern Maryland. We were celebrating Aunt Betty's Bday! She's the one tearin' it up in some of the pics with Livvy. You wouldn't know that she was the one turning the big 7-0 just by meeting her! She's definitely got some fight left in her!;) Click Here to see the pics.
There are also some pics from our trip last weekend to OC/Bethany to visit the Rents. Olivia LOVES spending time with her ol' Nonno and Nonna!
We also just purchased a new car, the all-new GMC Acadia. The Land Rover's out and in comes my first American Car since the old caprice classic wagon....ah yes....I can still smell her....
I'll get more into the new family car in a later post. Much to report on this front.
Hope everyone's having a great summer and hope to see you all soon!
