It doesn’t matter how old my dog is I still call him my puppy. I can still see him as a little fat ball of hair and that’s probably the way I’ll always see him.

Today is National Dog Day! Eaton Square at Arlington Ridge is a pet-friendly community and we want to help you celebrate your furry friend! We found some great ways to celebrate this special day for your dog!

1. Take your dog out to the park! Let him/her get the exercise they’ll love.
2. Buy your dog a special treat. Either a new toy or a yummy snack!
3. Pamper your puppy with a bath or take him/her to the pet salon!
4. Post pics of your pup on our Facebook page! Let’s see how cute he is!
5. Don’t have a dog? Want one? Adopt! or Rescue one!

Yes it exists…beer culture. While some may think that it doesn’t taste very good. You know they just haven’t had a good beer yet. There’s also an art to having a good beer just like wine. There’s a certain color that makes a good beer, and of course there isn’t much foam (or head as most people call it) on the top. Also depending on the person (and country) it’s either cold or served at room temperature. Just like wine. So don’t knock it, some people are wine culture and some people are beer culture.

This week is DC’s Beer Week and this is probably the best time to learn about beer culture. You might even find a beer you enjoy, with more than 0 breweries and 30 restaurants, bars and pubs participating you’re sure to find something!

Please be responsible and don’t drink and drive. Simply use the Commuter Rail!

Well you actually haven’t missed it yet and it’s really longer than a week…10 days! But that’s besides the point…Alexandria VA will be hosting Restaurant Week!!!

Not sure what Restaurant Week is?

This 10-day gourmet and gourmand event enables residents and visitors to enjoy tantalizing multi-course meals and distinctive treats prepared especially for the occasion showcasing the inventive culinary diversity offered throughout the city.

The best part about Restaurant Week? Personally I would have to say that it’s the discounts that are offered for a delicious multi-course meal! They are offering specials for a $35.10 for a Prix-Fixe Meal or $35.10 f0r a dinner for Two and 3.50 for Sweet Treats. These are for participating restaurants…check em out!

Which restaurants will you choose to visit?

Can you run a 5k barefooted? I know what you’re thinking…how do you run a 5k barefooted? You’re thinking that would be horrible…you don’t have arch support, cushion for your feet or protection! Wrong…

Introducing Vibram Five Fingers! Vibram Five Fingers lets you run barefooted. They look like gloves for feet. I know you’re still wondering how this can be good for your feet…

The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised.

Your feet need the exercise, and when you give your feet the exercise they need your feet will be stronger.  You’ll be able to support yourself more.  It’s a win win! You can buy Vibram Five Fingers either online or at Hudson Trail Outfitters.

Eaton Square at Arlington Ridge is less than 10 minutes away from Hudson Trail Outfitters. Check out Vibram Five Fingers!

Last weekend some friends and I decided to head over to the Del Merei Grille. We were looking for a nice restaurant with a hip atmosphere and great food. The Del Merei Grille was definitely the place to be! We had such a great time and the food was to die for!

Located in the vibrant Del Ray section of Alexandria, Virginia, the restaurant has quickly become a neighborhood favorite where diners return again and again for the gracious hospitality and consistently excellent food. Locals call it “the Del” and know it’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy a wonderful meal.

That night I had food from the grille! Oh the options were endless, you have a choice of food from the grille, a sauce and two sides! You get to make your own meal! There are also other entrees that you can choose from and I’m certain you’ll be satisfied.

The Del Merei Grille is located off of 3106 Mount Vernon Ave. you can call 703-739-4335 for more information.
