Ben's Chili Bowl

 There's a new Ben's Chili Bowl in Reagan National Airport.

We got the famous half smoked and chili fries. So good!

Meet Mei Xiang!

We finally got to meet Mei Xiang the Panda and she was very much enjoying her bamboo lunch.

 We also saw old Simba bathing in the sun.

 and Tigger...not bouncing around for once!

Nordstrom Cafe

Did anyone know that Nordstrom had a dining cafe? I think I fell in love with it last night!

It's a self-serve, order and bring to table style of cafe, but there are people who bring your bread and refill your water. 

I ordered the shrimp and asparagus risotto- it was delicious! But the portion was so small (in my opinion), I could have had 2 plates...

And then I went for the creme brulee.

Do you see the vanilla bean specks? I think I would have been freaking out if I didn't know what vanilla bean was. I only found out about it 9 years ago :P

Mr. P is back!

Back from being lazy and abandoning the blog! Thought it was a good date to start again- July 1st! The start of the 2nd half of the year :)

On a recent visit to the nation's capital, Mr. P found a patriotic friend.

And another one.

And another donkey! Why are there so many donkeys and elephants?

Right.....it's D.C. how ignorant could I be? I felt stupid ;P Don't tell anyone I was a gov major.
