mr dean comes to washington

eric came to visit this weekend!!! we had so much fun, hanging out, eating, shopping and having cocktails. first up, shake shack:

and yes, i did eat a cheeseburger, fries AND a shake. boo-ya. i had a healthy appetite that evening. we went next door to eighteenth street lounge and then to russia house for cocktails. eric got some swirly, fruity drink (per usual):
we turned in early that night so we could get up and have brunch at kramerbooks. i love the concept of this place- it's a bookstore/lounge. you can read, you can eat and you can drink wine. it's packed, all the time. we started with strawberry mimosas and the boys had an obamlette while i enjoyed a waffle. delish!!!

next up: georgetown. eric has visited a few times before and he's never been to g-town (because i loathe going there on the weekends), so we decided to head there for some shopping.
after a few hours on the streets, we needed a rest (because we're old) so we went back to the house. eric played with weebay, lp made us fruity champagne cocktails and modeled his hat, and i took lots of pics.

scratch off tickets (nobody won anything)

that evening, we headed to cava for dinner. as i've said before, lp and i love this place and luckily, eric does too. it was supposed to just be a few of us, but some of our friends ended up coming and we had like 9 people.


after, we went out and about. first stop, lottery tickets. eric is apparently on a huge lotto kick and i have a dormant gambling addiction, so i'm always game for the lottery.

eric wanted to be the door guy, so he started checking ids.

capital at night

let's just say we all slept like rocks, but not for very long. the next morning, eric had been wanting to go to masa 14, which has an all you eat and all you can drink prix fixe menu, so off we went for some food. we started with blood orange mimosas (i clearly love champagne) and stayed for 2 1/2 hours. afterward, we headed for a few more cocktails at a local bar. this turned into me singing richard marx, some air guitar and too many miller lights.

the night ended at our house, watching the oscars, eating hummus and with me eventually falling asleep on the couch. at 830. what can i say- i need my rest. eric liked the hummus the best.
love ya, eric!!!!
