Hello! We had a fun weekend. Mac and I got up and had our coffee Saturday morning then we drove up to DC. We stayed at the Marriott in Crystal City, which is just a few miles from the monuments. The hotel has this cool underground shopping area and the metro line runs right through it.
Mac look out our room...we were on the top floor and in the distance we could see the Capitol bldg.
We took the metro to the Smithsonian Museums area and walked around:
We had lunch at an apparent "Texas" establishment called the Austin Grill. Pretty tasty and our waiter, Elliott, was so adorable. (that's him in the background)
We loved the menu...they even had a Margarita named after LBJ...
We realized it was our 1 month (and 1 day) anniversary...
Back to the hotel to relax and read the paper before dinner...
We went to Alexandria this morning. Cute little town with lots of shops and places to eat. Here's a link if you want to check it out: http://visitalexandriava.com/
This is a shop called La Casa Bella we went in, loved it! Mac bought me a bracelet for our 1 month anniversary. awww
Here's my bracelet...not sure why I look hung over...no lipstick maybe?
This is a great bakery we dropped in to for coffee...The European Gourmet Bakery:
mmmmm...
On the way home we stopped by Pierce's BBQ to pick up dinner. It's a Williamsburg staple!
That was our weekend. Yesterday the weather was great (in the 80s), but a storm came in last night and rained/stormed and today it was cold and dreary. Mac doesn't know it yet but we're about to go for a walk at CW.
Have a great week, talk to ya soon!
