weekender.

This weekend felt long and we packed in a lot.

On Friday night, we went out to Merriweather Post Pavilion to see The Lumineers with Erin, Josh, Em, Nick, Val, Dan and YJ. We bought the tickets months ago and it was a perfect summer night for it.

We drank beer and ate snacks in the parking lot while the sun went down...

The Lumineers were great, they represented Colorado well and the 40,000+ crowd thoroughly enjoyed it...

On Saturday morning, we pulled ourselves up out of bed early and headed to Arlington to visit Shai, Alli, Naama and to meet their new baby Tali! We grabbed bagels at Brooklyn Bagel Bakery which beat any bagel in the District...

We had quality time with Shai and Alli. We played with Naama and of course snuggled with Tali (she is just five pounds right now!)...

We hustled back to our side of town and headed up to Union Market to check out the Farm to Street Party...

About 125 vendors were featured to emphasize local food and ventures. We bought ourselves some Zeke's coffee (Baltimore based) and tasted a little bit of everything from pickles to iced coffee concentrate.

We also popped into A. Litteri (that I had mentioned here before) just to check it out and see what the inside is like. It was very cool. Total hole in the wall filled floor to ceiling with italian products and pastas and sauces. In the back is a deli counter where they make up subs and sandwiches. We will definitely heading back when we are hungry to try it....

Saturday night we headed over to Boundary Stone to celebrate Roy's birthday.

We were a little early and so we crossed the street to check out this new store front we noticed, Show Time. It was a great dive bar and we talked to the owner while we were in there. If we lived just a little closer we would probably go here all the time. He said they had just opened about a month ago.

It poured rain on Saturday night for a while so we all moved inside and grabbed a spot inside Boundary Stone and enjoyed the forced indoors. Love the Flying Dog can....

Sunday we mostly laid low. We went up to the farmer's market at Union Market and we sat out on the front porch drinking coffee and watching neighbors head to church across the street...

We also cleaned, hosed the backyard and I worked on my folding chairs (update on that coming very soon!). Oh yeah, and for dinner, we finally went to The Big Board and tried a burger (I can't believe it has been two years since I posted about them!) It was Emmy's last night in DC for the summer (can you believe it?) so we went with Emmy, Ryan and Jen...the burgers were fantastic. As of today, we would all say the best in the District. Seriously, they are that good.

Last but not least, Ben and I started watching Friday Night Lights yesterday and we are hooked. Three episodes in and we just want to hang out on the couch all day every day together so we can plow through the show.  Have you watched it?!
