Impromptu

It doesn't get much better than an impromptu weekend roadtrip. No expectations. Just the road and endless possibilities. This past weekend I hit the road to Washington D.C. I visited back in September for the first time and loved it. 

Since the Nationals game wasn't until the evening, Saturday I explored the city. I started out looking over D.C. from this rooftop. Super modern with great views.

 If you are in D.C., you must try The Pig. The smoked bbq smells in this place were amazing and I was very upset that I already ate breakfast.

 Another gem that I would recommend is Pearl Dive Oyster Palace. 

 The drink below was a very different combination of flavors than I'm used to, but I really enjoyed it. Its called the Pearl Oyster Cup. Bombay Sapphire, Pimm’s No. 1,  Cucumber, Lime, Mint, and House Ginger Beer. You could definitely make out the ginger taste.

 The hot oyster plates were AMAZING. I went with the Rockefeller and Tchoupitoulas.

Off to the ball game!

On Sunday, I decided to take a walk around Georgetown. I found myself on Georgetown University's campus. Very pretty.

And of course, you can't go to Georgetown or D.C. for that matter, without going to Georgetown Cupcake! I HAD to get the red velvet again and then I tried their Key Lime Cheesecake and Caramel Sundae cupcakes on specialty.

Happy Monday!

Georgetown Cupcake

On Sunday, Mike was nice enough to walk all the way to Georgetown so I could finally go to Georgetown Cupcake. If you don't know, the owners have a show on TLC called DC Cupcakes. I remember my Aunt Alice telling me about it and ordering Erin some of their cupcakes. They were delicious! Such unbelievable original flavors and other creative cakes baked to perfection. 

 Mike being such a great sport, waited in line (red shirt in the back) for me while I took pictures.

I was definitely surprised how small the shop actually is. It explains the line! I suppose that is a great marketing tactic. If there is a line, its for a reason... because their product is damn delicious, on top of appetizing to the eye.

Red Velvet is always my go-to. 

Red Velvet, Strawberry (unbelievable), Vanilla Birthday, Milk Chocolate Birthday, Caramel Apple (Sept. Special), Cinnamon Coffee Crumb (Sept. Special), and Peanut Butter Fudge (very rich).

The October cupcakes on special look amazing too.

Georgetown is literally a shopping dream come true. I wish I could've had a whole day there, but I didn't want to make Mike bored all day long. So, I just stuck to the cupcakes. haha.

That wraps up our weekend. DC was never a place that was on the top of my travel list, but I'm so glad that we went. If you are looking for a great mini vacation, Washington, DC and Georgetown are great places to see.
