A weekend somewhere between boring and crappy

Our weekend was so uneventful that we don't even have pictures to post. Though I guess I could post a picture of the damage to the front of our car -- more on that in a bit.

Nikki has editing work right now so on the weekends Georgie and I hang out and try to only bother mama for feedings. This is much easier to do in a place like a museum or the big Whole Foods in Fairfax. Yesterday we decided to go to Pentagon City mall so Nikki could work and G and I would have our choice of entertainment. We've taken Georgie to a lot of museums and a lot of outdoor stuff but it turns out that her favorite thing is retail. This is worrisome. She absolutely loved looking around in stores, especially Borders and Costco. For a while she was bursting out laughing every 20 seconds just looking around. People in the stores were really smiling at her.

Nikki was working at Starbucks and we were hungry and right next door is Chevy's Fresh-Mex. Has anyone been to one of these? I have not had the pleasure. Actually I have to say that this place is an insult to authentic Fresh-Mexican cuisine. If I was from Fresh-Mexico I'd be embarrassed and angry. It took forever to find something recognizable on the menu. Or rather everything was familiar but had something wrong with it. Like crab, or mushrooms, or sherry chipotle sauce. In the end I tried to order a burrito with verde sauce but had to settle for green sauce because the waitress hadn't heard of verde. Nikki had fajitas. About 90 seconds after we ordered our food appeared. Wow, Chevy, that is Fresh! (Guess they are not even pretending that their 13 dollar platters aren't microwaved.) Georgie has our best interest in mind though and as soon as we got our food she started crying but refused to eat at Chevy's. Good girl. She has better taste than us.



Today I slept a lot because I hadn't really yet this weekend. Nikki took Georgie to the P Street Whole Foods. They have a tricky, cramped basement parking garage. Apparently on of the concrete poles down there jumped out at her at the last minute and she lost the fight. The pole didn't have insurance so it looks like we are footing the bill. The damage isn't bad at all, actually. She sort of nicked the pole by the front corner of the car and it popped part of the body loose. You never know with custom molded plastic, but it should be cheap to repair. In other car damage news, someone keyed the rear door on the other side. Can't wait to get out of this city.
