Weekend recap

Last night’s outing was a good time. The snow stopped mid-afternoon, so getting downtown wasn’t too much of a problem. We had dinner at 701 Restaurant, which is located in the corner of one of the buildings surrounding the Navy Memorial. They have a prix fixe pre-theater menu for $24.95, served nightly from 5-6:45 p.m. (As you exit the Metro, the restaurant is immediately to your right. I took a few photos of part of the memorial and the National Archives across the street.) The show at the Warner Theatre–Stephen Lynch, whom we’ve seen a few times before, and Mitch Hedberg, whom I’d remembered from That ’70s Show–was fun. Lots of laughs.

Today we’re kicking back at home. We made brunch as we usually do on the weekend, and as we were finishing up, I started looking at the latest issue of Condé Nast Traveler, which has results of a reader survey on cruise ships. Thom and I agree that we’d love to go on a cruise someday. Talking about travel reminded me of all the gallivanting in The Talented Mr. Ripley, so I think I’m off to watch the DVD for the umpteenth time.
