Weekend Re-Cap: it's still Spring :)

How was my weekend? Oh, how about awesome!!! Friday I went on a pilgrimage to Silver Spring with Drew and Erin to eat some Fried Pickle Spears from The Quarry House Tavern. You guys - those things rocked my world!!! Paired with some home made ranch dip, and a strawberry beer - you have the height of culinary sophistication. So good that I'm sure they will now haunt me and become a dragon I chase until the end of time. So great.

Saturday also ruled. Drew picked me up (ok so we hung out a lot this weekend) and we went shopping in SUBURBIA!!! I would never live there (gawd no) but it's great to visit and buy things. We got coffee from Buzz, which had these adorable-looking cakes, and then went to the car wash where they do it all different out here (it's no Brown Bear, I tell ya). Then it was Old Navy/Target, where I bought some truly tacky accessories for my ladies' Vegas trip this June (gotta have those). We capped off the day with pizza from Rustico where I had a "Flying Dog Raging Bitch" beer. I think FDRB may be my spirit name.

The yummy cakes at Buzz.

The truly fabulous matching "boat shoes" we got at Target. Don't hate, these are awesome.

My "Ragin' Bitch" - PS this beer was really good.

Sunday the weather was behaving itself despite being a bit chilly so it was safe to leave the house and brave the new Spring "elements." So happy that these have replaced the snow in our front yard:

The few cherry trees on our street are doin' their thing:

Keene and I were finally able to try out this diner on the Hill that we've been meaning to go to forever, Jimmy T's. It's just about what you would expect. Lots of hill-types reading the newspaper over blueberry waffles and coffee (I love me some diner coffee!).

It has a what-you-see-is-what-you-get vibe and they only take cash, hence the reason our debit-card totin' selves have never made it here (who carries cash anymore? other than Dads?).

Me n' my "Dear Ole Dad" mug.

Keene studying the rifle on the wall...

...yes, a "Red Ryder" bb gun to be exact. It's part of this random "A Christmas Story" shrine...?

Tin ceilings - an East Coast thing?

After breakfast we went over to Eastern Market because I was craving a pickle from the pickle people. Lots of pickles this weekend...

Pickle sass.

A delightful weekend all around! I'm so excited for the days to keep getting warmer and longer. YOU GUYS - how were your weekends?!?!
