A lil Glimpse of the Weekend

This weekend Sweet Lips and I took advantage of the FREE DC Zoo. It was the perfect day for strolling around... overcast and cool. The wild cats put on a great show. The roar of the African Lion alone was worth the trip. I did however miss the absence of a giraffe and rhino (apparently available for view at the Bmore Zoo). Below are some of the "wild" highlights.

After checking out the Zoo, we headed over to U Street for dinner at Bar Pilar... some pretty spectacular tapas (altho slightly overpriced).

Sunday was spent stuffing our faces with the finest Italian produce North Bmore has to offer. We went to Mastellone and stocked up on wine, dough, cheese and other munchies. Below is the proscuitto & mozzarella sandwich I brunched on and also the scrumptious homemade pizza we had for dinner. Ingredients included: goat cheese, fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, roasted red peppers, red onions and kalamata olives......... yummmmmmmm!
