Places to Eat in the D.C. Area

We’re visiting D. C. more these days because we have family there.  We’ll add to this list of restaurants we’ve enjoyed and recommend to you.  The food is good in all of them.

Alexandria

Chadwick’s – a unique menu in a historic building

Geranio Ristorante – affordable fine dining – their acclaimed, European-trained Chef Clayton is apparently a believer

Il Porto Ristorante – fantastic Italian – the building’s history is fascinating, so read the menu

Georgetown

Near the Mall

Clara Barton Cafe – in the Red Cross building near the White House.  Low prices and not busy.

The Smithsonian has several cafeterias:

  • Mitsitam in the Museum of the American Indian is a MUST DO – native ingredients and flavors of Native American cuisine.

Tysons Corner

Danielle’s Desserts – we tried their yummy cupcakes – located in Tysons Galleria

Lebanese Taverna – great menu – located in Tysons Galleria

Vienna

Nielsen’s Frozen Custard in cups or cones – Yum!

Several Locations

Capitol City Brewing Company – our nephew, Erik, recommends the ribs

Founding Farmers – run by a collective of family farms

Jason’s Deli – a chain with great soups, salads, and sandwiches

Johnny Rockets – a fun chain taking you back in time for some All-American burgers, shakes, and fries

Lost Dog Cafe has great pizza

Noodles & Company, a chain, has Asian and Mediterranean noodle dishes, great salads, and more

Red, Hot & Blue for some yummy barbecue!

Red Mango – get what you want in frozen yogurt and toppings and then pay by weight

Try DeLand for Something to Do

inside an old barber shop in DeLand, Florida

Looking in the window of an old barber shop

DeLand, Florida, is just an hour or less from Orlando or twenty minutes from Daytona Beach and offers a variety of things to do.  Now that Jenn goes to school in DeLand, we’ve been in the area more and have made some great discoveries.  If you’re a tourist visiting Disney or the other attractions, maybe you would find something to break the “tourist mold” on your way to Daytona Beach. There’s something for everyone!  (See the bottom of this post for a link to restaurants, for a blog with updates on events in DeLand and for the Stetson University calendar of events.)

What we recommend personally:

We haven’t made it here, but hope to:

We’ll not try this!

  • Skydiving
  • Cave diving in some of the local springs

Vero Beach

seafood restaurant in Vero Beach, Florida

The Ocean Grill in Vero Beach, Florida

I definitely want to go back to Vero Beach!

We arranged to meet friends at The Ocean Grill in Vero Beach, Florida, for dinner three weeks ago. (It’s less than two hours down the turnpike from Orlando and then you take route 60 from Yeehaw Junction until it dead ends at the restaurant.) The Ocean Grill has very tasty food (pricey, though) and a fun, eclectic interior. It was full very soon after it opened at 5:30. I’d put in a reservation for the restaurant and be prepared to pay $22/dinner, but there’s a few lower-priced items or even a tasty soup and appetizer. I had Chicken Oscar. Their lunch menu is definitely cheaper (under $10.)

I felt like we were in “another country” just because Vero Beach was so different from Orlando. You could park near the restaurant and do shops and walk the beach. There’s plenty of beach access points along A1A north and south of Vero Beach. Disney has a resort north of the restaurant on A1A.

We arrived in Vero Beach well before dinner, so we stopped at the McLarty Treasure Museum. It takes less than an hour to do this museum and only costs a few dollars. It was fascinating to learn about 1,500 survivors stranded here when a fleet of Spanish treasure ships sank off the coast in 1715.

Pelican Island NWR

Pelican Island NWR

We only had a half hour to stop at Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge was America’s first National Wildlife Refuge. President Theodore Roosevelt signed an executive order to set aside this land for wildlife in 1903. (Read more…)

I can’t guarantee you would see dolphins, but if you want to try, go straight in past the first parking lot in the Refuge and then turn at the next right into the Centennial area. It’s an easy walk to the observation tower overlooking the Indian River. We saw a pod of dolphins feeding in the river.

After dinner, we drove past a large home with lots of Christmas lights in a huge front yard off of route 60 not far from the restaurant. If you’re in Vero Beach in December, read this article first and then this article to learn more. Apparently you can drive around the outside of this large home, at least, to see hundreds of thousands of Christmas lights. (Maybe we should have stopped.) They also have special times to see the twenty decorated rooms as well.

Here’s a good list of things to do in and near Vero Beach; most of the things in the second half of the list “within an hour” are south of Vero Beach.

The Memorial Day Weekend Mashup: Part 2

YouTube Preview Image See yesterday’s post for a photo and links for the first part of our Memorial Day weekend, including a day at Sea World and a day in Gainesville, Florida.

Monday, Memorial Day, we headed for St. Augustine. We picnicked and then walked out to the beach at Anastasia State Park. We recommend this beach if you would rather not go to one of the crowded, popular beaches along a hotel strip. We also camped here about a dozen years ago. It’s a great spot and close to all you can do in St. Augustine.

It was warm and very windy so that the waves were too strong for most of us. We took walks and Josh and Jenny made a sand castle similar to Castillo de San Marcos. Sus enjoyed looking for shells. She found quite a few razor clams and a few dollar-size green jellyfish. The big find was a stick with live Pelagic Goose Barnacles. (See the video of them feeding in our bucket, above.)

We headed over toward St. Augustine. Discovering that Bonnie had never seen a lighthouse, we stopped at the St. Augustine light station, just to walk around the grounds.

Of course, the fort was new for Bonnie, so we walked around there next. Castillo de San Marcos was going to close at 5:00, so get there before 3:00 at least, if you want to go inside.

Walking around the historic, old buildings of St. Augustine, America’s oldest city, we decided on dinner at Café Del Hildago. The Hidalgo Salad was very good, as well as the gelato for dessert. Gelato, an Italian ice cream, was new for a number of us. (We liked the white chocolate kiss, the mint, the chocolate peanut butter, and the pistachio flavors.)

We spent another hour walking around after dinner and ended our day enjoying the beautiful Spanish Renaissance architecture on the campus of Flagler College, whose centerpiece is the Ponce de León hotel, originally built as a luxury hotel in 1888. Here’s a peek inside. The college offers tours of the hotel.

Tuesday morning, Ben and Bonnie drove over to the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Ben worked in the parking lot for the Animal Kingdom for three consecutive summers during college. Bonnie was impressed with the size of the parking lot and they saw some elands and other animals around the lodge.

When they returned home, we all headed out for lunch and to see Campus Crusade headquarters. We visited all the offices where Mike, Sus, and Jenn work and the prayer center and then took the Jesus Film tour.

Sus put together a slide show with pictures from our fun-filled family mini-vacation.

Saint Augustine

jen-with-klare-and-stephanie.jpg

Sus joined Jenny and a bus load of students for a history field trip to Saint Augustine.

The weather was beautiful and we had a great time visiting some of the historic sites and museums. We saw carpentry and smithing demonstrations in the Spanish Quarter, then headed to the museum in the Government House.

A trip to Saint Augustine is not complete without a visit to Castillo de San Marcos. We even saw a cannon-firing demonstration. (If you like forts, we also recommend a short drive south to Fort Matanzas, which also protected Saint Augustine.)

In this photo are Klare, from The Czech Republic, Jenny, and Stephanie. You can see more photos from several different trips to Saint Augustine when you click here.
