Cafe Citron

I have some delightful memories of Cafe Citron in DC. Like the time Heather was in town on Saturday night and she just straight up asked the bouncer to let us inside (in front of this huge line of people who were patiently waiting their turn). After some discussion, the rest of us ladies were ready to hang our heads in shame and sulk over to the end of the line, but Heather worked that sparkling charm of hers and instead we waltzed right inside and danced the night away.

Or the time Katie and I met with some friends here for happy hour and stayed for the Samba dance lessons. This place has THE best mojitos around, a delicious dinner menu, pumping latin music, and signs welcoming patrons to dance on the tables and chairs.

Our most recent adventure was a couple nights ago for our neighbor's birthday celebration. Sean & Jess are great fun. They're our age and we get together for board games and dinner frequently. Meeting them is the ONLY good thing about waking up at 2:30 in the morning our first night at the apartment for a false fire alarm. :)

This week my other friend Jessica was in town for a conference at the Red Cross headquarters. She and I worked together at the San Jose chapter a couple years ago, and would always get together. It was wonderful to catch up with her and just like old times (minus my pirate face). More amusing photos of this night can be found at http://www.laneandelena.shutterfly.com/
