Day date

I had the day off today and planned to spend it as a couch monkey (termed coined recently by Seth) but the blossoms were bloomin and it was too nice to sit inside!

So I got off my butt and took a few pics for y'allll. That's right, it's all for you.

The Manfriend (who is feeling a lot better) and I made our way through Georgetown and along the canal...




And landed at our favorite coffee shop, Baked N' Wired.



Take that, Georgetown Cupcake


Lil caffeine buzz and we were off to the Blossoms!








4 miles of walking and 10,000 pictures later, we were starved! We hit up JuiceZone for juice (clearly) and wraps.

Beet, green apple, carrot, spinach, ginger

Lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, olives, grilled tofu, spinach wrap and side of balsamic vinegar.

Questions:

Are you a couch monkey on days off?

Have you ever been to the DC Cherry Blossom festival? 

I just bought a juicer! What's your favorite juice combo?

  1. GORGEOUS photos!! I'm hoping to visit the cherry blossoms this weekend (and plow my way through crowds of tourists! haha)

    Agreed: Georgetown Cupcake has nothing on Baked and Wired! <3

  2. Those cherry blossoms are so beautiful! Great pictures! I don't have a juicer but I can't wait to see what you make!

  3. The average peak date is my bday, so I like to take a day during the week to visit the festival, have a picnic lunch, and enjoy the beauty. Not sure it's going to happen this year with the crappy weather.

  4. Hey there! Great shots of DC! I will actually be coming to the area for a conference April 8-11th. I was wondering if you had any recommendations of places to eat/things to see? I have been to DC once before and did all of the government/museum stuff but I figured I'd ask a local what else to see. Let me know if you have time! Thanks :) --Maria

  5. You are brave for heading down there with all the tourists! I hardly ever go down because I hate the crowds. But those pictures are absolutely gorgeous and look well worth it.
    I'm usually a couch potato on my days off because on regular weekend days I'm so busy!

  7. Today and tomorrow are my days off this week! So I'm using them to workout, do some laundry, relax, and cook. So pretty much half active, half couch-monkey.

  8. new reader!! Yesss I am SUCH a couch monkey!! I have arguements with myself, do I want to go out and do stuff ? Or do I want to take my Nook and caress it for 5 hours and be lazy?... when I do one or the other, I get upset I didn't do the other one!! I'm a mess ;)

  11. Love it! I want a day off to enjoy the cherry blossoms! Baked and Wired is soooo delish! You should have gotten a cupcake! Or a sandwich cookie...I recommend the Texas Chocolate one. :)

  12. The cherry blossoms are gorgeous! What kind of juicer did you get? I have been thinking about one for a while now. You should do a juicing post!

  13. I try really hard not to be a couch monkey on days off, especially once spring rolls around!

    I love the cherry blossoms, I try to come down to DC from Boston every spring :)

    I don't have a juicer but am dying for one!
