This weekend Larry came to visit me in DC.  He caught an early flight, so I had to rush from work through DC traffic to pick him up (only a little late).  That night we got some beers and watched the Mets at Baileys, played some pool, and ended the night with some coldstone.  Yum!

Saturday I wanted to show Larry Old Town Alexandria.  As soon as we got there though, it started POURING. We were able to make it from the car to a teeny restaurant for bunch called Fontaine Caffe & Creperie, which served (obviously) crepes and looked like it was a bit of a wine bar too.  We each got an entree crepe, and then this awesome chocolate , peanut butter, and nutella crepe for dessert!

After brunch it was still raining so I gave Larry the driving tour and then we drove back to DC.  When we got closer to home it clearer up, so we went into Georgetown for a bit, to my new favorite area up north on Wisconsin Ave.  While we were walking we saw this truck, which Larry couldn’t get enough of

We also got some yummy chocolate covered gummy bears, and I got a pair of new shoes.   Then, it stared raining again so we called it a day. On the way home I took Larry to the Italian Store for a “snack” (and I found the one place in Virginia you can buy cavatelli. woohoo!).  That night we attempted to go to dinner at a new restaurant called Asia Nine, but when we got there they told us they had to turn off the gas so all they were serving was sushi.  We nixed that and instead went right to the bar we were planning on going to afterwards to have dinner, Urbana in the Hotel Palomar.  Despite our flamboyant and often absent waiter, we had a great (italian) dinner, and then moved over to the lounge/wine bar for a bit (definitely a place I’d go back to).  We ended the night back in Ballston at Front Page to meet up with J, Brit, Kristen, and Dave for a few drinks, and then called it a night.
