I’m not going to lie, last Saturday was pretty chilly. But part of the #DMVTravelCrew ventured out anyway. We made plans to meet at La Vie (a restaurant at the Wharf) for brunch to test out their new outdoor igloos. The views from the Penthouse were stunning. Even with the wind howling. Brrrr!!

OUTDOOR DINING
Yup, there’s drinking in Morocco…

A friend and I enjoyed a visually stunning dinner and wine pairing at Little Pearl. Little Pearl is part of the world renowned Rose’s Luxury family. There were beautiful edible flowers in …
