had a pretty fun but tiring weekend. lb and friend came into town on friday night and spent the weekend with us. we basically went all over nova and showed them a few things that they wouldn't be able to find in the ric.
Friday. our guest came in late in the evening and so we caught a quick bite to eat at Potbelly and caught a flick at cinema de lux. If you haven't seen Slumdog Millionaire yet i suggest you check it out. it's a crazy crazy story that opens your eyes to another world. it doesnt make you think to hard it's just a great story telling movie that entertains you for a couple of hours.
Saturday we slept in and lounged till about 11 and finally got out of the apt. we couldnt figure out where to eat breakfast/lunch since it was kinda late for bagels. soo we decided to go to Full Kee cause I was craving some salty spicy squid. We also got some crispy spicy pork chops, seafood pan-fried noodles and some wonton soup. it totally hit the spot, alittle to hard at that. i almost got the itus.
after we headed to georgetown for alittle shopping. after alittle searching and a wrong turn we got a great spot around the corner from georgetwon cupcakes. on a gloomy day GC totally hit the spot. we got toasted marshmallows, chocolate ganche, and lemon berry. all were ridicously good. after we ate the cupcakes inside the shop the rain started coming down. we didn't stay too long in gtown cause fo the rain and decided to go to the museums.
after another wrong turn we got another sweet parking spot right in front of the history museum. checked out the dinosuars, some really wildlife pix, the hope diamond, and some korean artifacts that they hide in the back. it was a good way to kill some time before dinner at Central.
we actually ended up going to Central an hour early, got some drinks, chilled at the bar, and watched the titans/ravens game. This was my second time to Central and the second time i had steak there. let me say don't order the steak. they have good steak but it's not the best and it's not why you should go there. what i should have ordered was bangers and mash since they're a french spot. they do really well with comfort food too. ape got fried chicken and she says that was off the hook. her mash was really good too. lb had a burger which was torn up in 3 secs. their mushroom risotto is really good. cheese puffs for apps are worth the curiosity, everyone gets them. the kit kat bar shouldn't be skipped though we skipped it. haha
the night ended at home playing wii fit.
Sunday we met up with tony and elaine and the kid for lunch at Jackson's. I have nothing bad to say about GAR. all of their restuarants are great. try the deviled eggs yum yum. after we headed to tony and elaine's to finish the game. Lb's giants ended up losing. after that they left for ric. we were supposed to hit up Rey's bday but ape's cold was too much for us to handle so we stayed in as she studied and i played GTA4.
