Post-Sandy

Life goes on. It was a bit rough last night with the wind gusts and the windows shaking. One branch came down on the corner.

It was promptly cleaned up at 5 pm tonight. Not bad at all.

Pho 14

My shuttle from work drops off near the Columbia Heights metro station. I feel so lucky that I get to explore the neighborhood because there are a ton of restaurants and shopping there unlike Waterfront station. Tonight, I felt adventurous and had a hankering for Vietnamese food so I chose to pick up my dinner from Pho 14. Best. Decision. Ever.
So delicious!
I ordered #43 Bun Tom Nuong which is vermicelli noodles with grilled shrimp. Bun is a cold noodle salad that is served with lettuce, bean sprouts, carrots, cucumber and peanuts. Basically you stir it all together and douse it with the sweet chili fish sauce. I have always been a bun lover thanks to my parents taking us out for Vietnamese food growing up. This was a real winner and I hope to have it again soon.

My Favorite Time of Year

It's starting to feel like fall!
Brandon and I took a drive out to Loudoun County for some outlet shopping and a little wine tasting. The trees are changing colors. So pretty!
Horses! Then we hit up the pumpkin patch and took home a friend:
What autumn activities have you participated in?
