Weekend Update: Mommy and Me

Thursday:
My mom arrived in DC! Went to dinner at Coppi's Organic on U street. Then watched a movie and went to bed.

Friday:
Shopping in Georgetown even though it was hot, hot, hot! Later went to dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. Twice in one week, wow!

Saturday:
Definitely an indoors day since it was 100 degrees. Went to the movies to see "Becoming Jane" then went to the National Portrait Gallery. Went to dinner at Rosa Mexicana where we sat by the window and watched the awesome lightning storm. I don't know why I've never eaten there before, it was so tasty. And they make guacamole right at your table! Yum. Watched "Pan's Labyrinth" and went to bed.

Sunday:
Shopped a bit at Pentagon City Mall then got ready for our dinner cruise. The cruise was pretty cool. We sat by the window again and it was a gorgeous night. Got some great views of Haines Point, the monuments, the Kennedy Center, and Georgetown.



We had the worst metro experience ever on our way home (it took two hours) but it was still a great night.

Monday:
Our last day together. We didn't have much time before the flight so we just went to the Library of Congress. One of the few tourist spots in the District I haven't been to yet. It was a pretty good tour and the Jefferson building is gorgeous.

I wish she could have stayed longer!

Weekend Update: Botched Movie Edition

Friday:
After work my coworkers and I headed to Emily's to watch MirrorMask, a movie highly recommended by Meredith. Since we can't ever get her to hang out with us, we made a special night of it. By special, I mean we bought wine and ordered pizza. All was going well until the DVD stopped working about half way through. Nothing we could do could revive it, so our night was cut a bit short.

Saturday:
Taldi and I had an "explore DC" day. Went to the Koshland Science Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, and then H&M. :) Went to dinner at Hard Rock Cafe which was hilarious. We were probably the only locals in the joint. We sat at the bar and talked to the bartender for a bit though. She was pretty cool.

Sunday:
The plan was to see "Becoming Jane" with some coworkers and meet Heather's baby Hannah. Well the lunch worked out, but we never made it to the movie. Hannah is a total cutey, and it was great to hang out with Heather again. I can't wait until she comes back from maternity leave.
