I'm Back!

So I apologize for not updating this thing in over a week. But, on the bright side, I am now employed! I am truly going to be, Sarah in the city from now on. That being said, let the blogging recommence!

June 19th: Today we went to a local food festival in Reston. There were local vendors, and it was a great opportunity to sample some of Reston's local fare. All in all, we got to eat Italian, hand-rolled sushi, chicken wings, and much more for about 20 bucks. It was really a neat experience, and I highly recommend that anyone in the area come out next year.

June 20th: Today we caught a Nats game- and I thought that, in the spirit of blogging, I'd list a few tips that I've found helpful when going out to local sporting events.

Water: Hydrate, hydrate,hydrate! Even if you think its a total pain to lug around, bring a bottled water just in case. If not- you'll be paying 4 bucks a bottle when you get to the stadiums.

Towels: Sometimes the seats are scorching hot- like today. Be sure and bring something with you to cover the seat. I was scorched today when I forgot my own towel!

Food: Atleast for the Nats stadium, you can bring in your own food to the games. My boyfriend and I have a tradition of bringing subway subs, but really anything except alcohol is allowed. It's much cheaper than eating the greasy stuff at the games, which can get pretty pricy. Still- there's no beating a stadium bratwurst for sure.

Allright well I hope that makes up for my lack of willpower over the past few days. Coming up in the next few blogs- apartment hunting and going out on a budget!
