Local night away - where would you go?
So DH and I have our 5yr anniversary on Friday (happy anniversary to Sofya too!). While we won;t get to go out this weekend (going to my sister's for Easter) or even probably the next weekend (going to my dad's). Sometime in May we would like to do a night out and stay in a hotel while the kids stay with SIL (lives with us). Last year we did Bethesda and found an $89/night hotel that was nice and walked around, had drinks at a few places, did some shopping at a little toy store and Barnes and Noble (it's so relaxing going in there without the kids), dinner at Jaleo, cupcakes at Georgetown cupcake and then a night alone and sleeping in (til 10AM). It was great and while I am not opposed to Bethesda again, where would you go in the area for a similar evening?

DH and I did a night at National Harbor for my birthday. There were a lot of restaurants and bars and the waterfront is pretty. I didn't attempt to shop, so I don't know how the shops are.
We were able to find hotel deals by shopping around.
This was my suggestion too. Pre-baby DH and I did a Ghost Pub Tour and stumbled home to our hotel. It was a blast!!

We stayed at one of the Historic Inns of Annapolis. The price was reasonable and the location was awesome!

I would go to Alexandria and eat at Restaurant Eve and then get drinks at PX. Or I'd go to Annapolis and see a show at the Rams Head Tavern and get snockered on brewpub beer :-)
thank you, Tracy! Half a decade!
what about Harper's Ferry? Or when was the last time you played tourist in DC? you could stay in Georgetown, maybe Sequoia's will be open by then.
The Loew's on West Street in Annapolis is supposed to be really nice too. Depending on the weekend you pick- Annapolis may be a booked solid due to Naval Academy graduation week.
Personally, I would stay in downtown DC and play tourist!
Right now, two restaurants in Bmore have been on my mind: Woodberry Kitchen and Brewer's Art (I've been craving good beer). So, I'd probably do a weekend in Baltimore. Hit those two, plus the Walters and the quirky American Visionary Art Museum.
Have fun! Annapolis is a great idea, too. Now I want cream of crab soup.
