1. H Street Country Club
I love a good margarita (see subheadline above) and was blown away by the Besos marg at the “country club.” The frozen mix of a classic margarita with a guava margarita was seriously delicious.

Now, I also happened to discover I’m not the best a mini-golf at this outing, but the miniature DC landmarks were too adorable to resist. There was a U Street with a Ben’s Chili Bowl, the crazy Beltway, a meter maid, and of course, the Washington Monument among other famous sites. I’m definitely adding this to my list of places to take out of town guests. It’s basically a tour of DC in under an hour.
2. Marc Jacobs Daisy Perfume
You’ve probably noticed how nice I’ve been smelling the past week. It’s because I got some new perfume! I love the way it smells, and the bottle is too cute!
3. Living Social Beer & Foodtruck Festival
Despite the rain coming down like cats and dogs, this trip to the first Living Social Beer & Foodtruck Festival was a huge hit. I may have been knee deep in water, covered in a bright blue poncho, but I was also tasting lots and lots and lots of new beer, so I was happy. There were about 60 different beer tents at the Festival, all with 2 or 3 beer varieties to sample. My favorites were by far the Leinenkugel Summer Shandy, a lemony beer, and Angry Orchard’s Hard Apple Cider. Both fruity and delicious. There were also several food trucks parked around the grounds. Sam and I got the Hot Rod and White Trash pie from Dangerously Delicious Pies and a southwest and roast beef panini from another sandwich truck.
4. Pups at the Park
This weekend Sam and I took Tilly to the Pups in the Park game so Tilly could experience her first baseball game. Tilly was more impressed by the other 100 dogs than the baseball game itself, but she was in heaven.
5. Disco Brunch with Blogger Friends
Have you ever been served a mimosa by a fabulous young man sporting a sequin jump suit and a boa? If not, be sure to check out Disco Brunch at Level One in Dupont. DC is truly the brunch capitol of the world and Level One did not disappoint. Like all other brunch spots in town, bottomless mimosas were the norm. I’m glad I had the chance to meet new bloggers, Ashlyn & Meaghan!
