Washington DC: Filomena's and Alexandria



On Wednesday, October 8, I flew to Washington DC - Reagan International Airport.  Since I wasn't with Eric, (he had another event and had to fly out on a later flight), I went with a few others.



Delayed flights so I got a Starbucks and did some blogging.



That evening, they had reservations for us at a very unique Italian place.



Making homemade pasta in the front window.



It was decorated for Halloween.



It was called Filomena's.






The food was all homemade and delicious.  And huge!  I wish you could see how big the meatballs were.  It was quite the experience.



Then to the hotel.  Eric flew in that night.


Thursday, October 9th was our set up day for our Washington DC Aspire.


At lunch, we went to Alexandria for shopping and lunch.


It was such a pretty little town.














The cobblestone street!





This shot - I loved it!



Love the colors of this home.




Hallmark vibes



You know I loved this - a yellow door!



And Lassie just sitting outside with his owner. :)




I had a bagel sandwich with cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, spinach and pickled red onion.




Great views from our venue!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan
