D.C. For Less Than A Day

As I mentioned as I was signing off on my last post, Isaac convinced me at the last minute to go with him to Northern VA/D.C. for the night. All morning I kept thinking I should stay home, get laundry done, buy shoes for the wedding I’m in next weekend, clean the house, etc. but then something came over me and I decided to go. We’re home now and I’m so pumped that I ended up going- it was a blast!

First stop: Upperville, VA for to cheer on Isaac’s Ultimate Frisbee team.

Isaac is injured and couldn’t play with the team but the weather was gorgeous and we both had a good time hanging out on the sidelines.

After watching a few games we headed into D.C. to stay with one of Isaac’s friends from Montessori training, Micah, for the evening. By the time we arrived we were HUNGRY. Luckily Micah and Katherine (his GF) knew just the spot to take us.

Radius Pizza!

Isaac and I split the arugula salad with VA peaches, mint, feta and balsamic vinaigrette.

I really liked it. The arugula wasn’t overly spicy as I’ve experienced in the past and the peaches were a nice touch.

Once I saw the Fall Pizza (with heirloom kabocha pumpkin puree, feta, ricotta, caramelized onions, and mushrooms) I knew exactly what I wanted for dinner! I mean, how often is it that you see a pizza with kabocha pumpkin puree?!? The table all agreed that the Fall Pizza sounded amazing so we ordered a large to share.

I told you we were hungry.

O.M.G. – this pizza is quite possibly the best pizza I’ve ever had out at a restaurant!! The kabocha sauce paired with the caramelized onions, ricotta and feta was incredible. I want another slice right now!

Post dinner Micah and Katherine took us to a Mt. Pleasant party where we hung out until we couldn’t hold our eyes open any longer, then went home and crashed!

Today we woke up to a soggy D.C. as it rained quite hard throughout the night. We grabbed a cup of coffee and putzed around, then met up with one of Isaac’s Israeli friends who was in town visiting this week.

We grabbed lunch at Busboys and Poets.

I ordered the Spinach and Wheat Berry Salad with baby spinach, blueberries, mango, roasted almonds and caramelized onions tossed in a ginger sesame vinaigrette. It was super tasty!!

Isaac ordered a spicy bloody mary that came out with a celery cactus – I couldn’t resist photographing it.

We’re home from the whirl-wind trip. I think I’m going to hit up the gym, make some dinner and relax. Gotta get ready for another 4 day work week. I’m off this Friday because one of my best friends is getting married in WI! I can’t wait!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend as well.
