DC RANDOMNESS Part 1!


One of the best part about going home FIVE GUYS!

OM NOM NOM!

To me this beats In & Out ANY DAY! 

(I know I know those are fighting words hahaha!)

Btw's my burger on the bottom left hand corner was the "child" size... and the Hubs on the top right was the "adult" UMMMM. #soconfused


Midnight snack!

I went in to buy my FAVORITE piece of chocolate from them.  I only buy chocolate from Godiva ONCE a year because my favorite piece of chocolate from them is a seasonal piece and is only available during spring around Easter and that is the Almond Butter chocolate egg.  OMG EFFIN' GOOD.  

Dude Godiva is really generous these days.. I paid $2 bucks for all of the chocolate above!  They gave me 3 free pieces!!! WHHHHAAAT! hahahaha


Hanging out in my childhood bedroom w/ my fur baby Jojo!

And she is TOTES not having it muhahahaha!


Forgot that I send my self a whole bunch of F21 items to my parents house from Texas so when I got home lets just say it was like Christmas all over again bahahahaha!

Tomato bisque w/ extra Parmesan crostini's & Tiramisu

Does anyone else crave Nordstrom cafe like I do? :p

It's funny the random things you'll miss living overseas!

Chicken Pasta Rosa & Balsamic Mushroom Pizza


Seriously this mall is so baller they had Bentley's and Rolls Royce's displayed in the middle!

  1. Ahhh Lisa! Drooling over the food photos! This makes me miss America SO badly, but we're due for a trip in the summer, so can't wait! I have a "To buy/To eat/To do" list :)

    And I'm sending stuff already to my mom's house in the States, including forever 21 accessories. :) hehe.

  3. Makes me homesick! I can't wait to see the rest.

    Trying to figure out what mall this is at. Was it Tyson's?

  4. I love the almond butter eggs too! The hazelnut praline chicks are also delicious.

    Apparently, Baked and Wired is a better cupcake place in D.C. However, I haven't tried it yet.

  19. allll the food!! look at the cute cupcakes. i need to try the dc cupcakes in the soho location :D

  20. oooh dems definitely fightin' words! i have yet to try five guys because everyone that's tried it says it's meh and that in n out wins hands down. i have tried shake shack and i'm undecided because the only burger i ever got from there was the shack stack. which is an unfair comparison to a reg hamburger.

  22. OMG sooo much food!

    Don't you just love moms? My mom would sometimes make me drop by her house after my weekend runs and I find myself stuffing plate after plate of my favorite home cooked meals. Sigh.

    Missed reading your posts, I've been off the blogging grid for a while, but I'm back!

    Ps. i need that camo scarf you're wearing in my life. Makes me want to cut my camo blankie and turn it into a scarf, hehe.

  25. I can't remember when was it opened, but my wife and I have been to Pinkberry for quite a number of times already. They have an amazing topping selection that encourages me to go back each time we go to Tysons Galleria. When you go back, try adding lychee. It'll make your froyo a lot refreshing.
