Weekend Highlights

This past weekend I met up with sorors for a mini-reunion. Outside of homecoming and weddings, we don't see each other often. We had brunch at Tazza Kitchen Arlington Ridge and it was amazing! The food here is so good and we had a great server.  And no they don't have bottomless mimosas but I'll definitely be back when it gets warmer to sit out on the patio. Afterward we went skating and did a little shoe shopping. It was nice to catch up on life while passing around photos and videos of the new babies and new homes, which shows we've been binge watching, and if we've bought a dress for the next wedding. Lol!  There's always something new to celebrate and I can't wait until the next time we get together.

Beloved October

I love Octobers! The change in weather, the smell of pumpkin spice in everything, and of course my birthday. I love birthdays! We should celebrate life everyday, but it's a blessing to grow another year older and wiser. This past weekend I caught up with family and friends and tried out a few restaurants for the first time around the city. It was an amazing weekend and I'm excited to see what year 28 brings.

Bin 1301 Wine Bar: They have a great wine selection. It's tucked away so most just pass by it while out on U St. This would be a great date night spot or a spot to catch up with friends before heading out to the surrounding bars. I was even able to pop my own champagne bottle!

Claudia's Steakhouse: I love the atmosphere here! There was a live jazz band and the decor was very modern and chic. The food was great and it's the perfect spot for a celebration with a large party. 

Blackwall Hitch: The all-you-can eat brunch buffet is the perfect after-church spot. The Old Town Alexandria location is right on the waterfront. The buffet offered a mix of breakfast and lunch items, along with seafood. I've been craving oysters so I was finally able to get my fix. And what's brunch without mimosas?! This spot has $1 mimosas. You are welcome.

Let's go baby to the hole in the wall.

About a week ago me and couple of friends went into the city for a free art event and the line was incredibly too long. So we decided to think of something else to get into while we drove around looking for parking. We all had to use the restroom and stumbled across a hole in the wall bar with amazing fried fish and cheap drinks, so we stayed. The live Go-Go band was awesome! I love finding hidden local spots. The people are friendlier and the vibe is much different. Everybody is just there to have a good time. I'll definitely be heading back soon!
