H traveled to DC this weekend to visit her best friend from college who recently moved there from Philadelphia. After traveling for 5 hours on the Bolt Bus (yes the jewelry line doesn’t pay quite enough yet to cover the cost of the train….) she arrived in DC. With the crazy heat wave that has taken over the east coast she did her best to stay in doors and air conditioned but explored out to a local Tex-mex restaurant the first night (not quite as good as the real thing but enjoyed the Austin theme and University of Texas colors – Hook ‘em Horns!).
Saturday included a trip to the roof of her friends apartment building to take in some sun and cool off in the pool (yes her apartment building has a pool on the roof – amazing!) and then a trip out to Bethesda Maryland (where every car that drove by was nicer than the last….) and dove into local cuisine of steamed crab and peel and eat shrimp. Finishing off the evening at a local Irish pub where they enjoyed the music from a cover band who had the most amazing lead guitarist – we all stared in awe as they played songs requested by the audience who have obviously been playing a bit of guitar hero and wanted to hear their favorite songs – the real life versions. Got back on Sunday – is good to be home!
4 out of 5 apples on the big apple weekend review radar!!!
