Good morning and happy Friday!
Today is day 2 of apartment hunting — the Virginia edition. Yesterday’s adventure was D.C.! Matt and I got in a quick workout in the morning — we did a bunch of Spartacus/HIIT moves (basically lunges/squats/jumps/etc. with weights involved) and also did some sprints down my parent’s driveway — I’m sure the neighbors thought we were insane.
After lunch, we got down to business. We are interesting in the upper NW/red line area of DC, so we parked in Cleveland Park and made our way south, checking out apartments in the area as we went.
We saw a couple we liked, but we’re going to see how today’s hunt in VA goes before we commit to anything.
After our search, we made our way down to Georgetown to meet Heather and her boyfriend (known on her blog as the mysterious “D”) for dinner. We had some extra time to kill so we made a pit stop at Pinkberry. 😉
We had dinner at a pizza place called Il Canale — I’d never been there before so it was fun to try something new! As you probably gathered from the name, it’s tucked away on the canal in Georgetown. 🙂
We were seated on the roof deck since it was so nice out. Warmest March ever.
For dinner, we enjoyed some red wine, and Matt and I shared a Caesar salad to start:
Plus a small pizza with artichokes, basil, and ham:
The pizza was amazing — probably my new favorite pizza place in the area! Very authentic Italian — not too much cheese with a nice thin crust and crispy edges. Divine.
And great to catch up with Heather and her man, too. 🙂 The four of us had a great time together — it will be nice to hang out more again when we’re back!
Dear red wine: Thanks for making my face bright red. It’s a good look for me.
Time to get down to business — apartments await and then Matt and I are driving back down to Chapel Hill tonight! It’s been such a whirlwind week and I’m crazy behind on emails/blog stuff and school work, but I’m so grateful we were able to use this week to get so much wedding planning and moving related stuff done.
Ta ta for now, friends! And if you live in Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, Dupont, Clarendon, Courthouse, or Rosslyn and love your apartment — please email me the name. 🙂 (My email is anne{at}fannetasticfood.com)
