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!
