My GF visit to DC!

This semester has been particularly rough for me. First The Boyfriend leaves to do an amazing internship - taking Sir Harvey with him, then I find out about the whole "Hypothyroidism" fiasco, and then there's the serious gluten allergy! But thankfully I'm blessed enough to be able to visit The Boyfriend & Sir Harvey once a month. The downside of this arrangement is getting me onto a plane. Seriously - it's not natural for humans to be in the sky. If God wanted man to be that high in the air he would've given us wings. 

But I suffered the plane rides because it's just not the same being without my men! Here's a lovely view from my window seat! Please bear with me about the photo quality, I never claimed to be an expert! 

So the visit was very pleasant if I do say so! I enjoyed being up north because they seem to have adopted the Gluten Free lifestyle more than the south. I was able to find a Gluten Free menu at more than half of the restaurants I went to! 

My favorite was Mon Ami Gabi !! They had a great GF selection! They're GF bread wasn't that great but hey... it's GF bread - what'd ya expect? But I loved my Steak Béarnaise with frites! And I especially loved that everything was guaranteed GF! Cannot tell you how stressful it is to eat something not knowing whether or not you're going to be doubling over in pain in an hour! 

But a close second in the GF restaurent race was Legal Sea Foods! They had a great gluten free menu! The crab dip was yummy and I happily ate some with GF rice crackers! I ended up getting a simple meal of grilled shrimp and fries, but the best part was that the chef himself brought it out to me and personally guaranteed that it was all gluten free - even specifying that the fries were in special GF fryer! I cannot tell you how long it's been since I've had fries because of that fear - needless to say I ate every single fry on that plate and loved it! 

The highlight of my trip (besides seeing The Boyfriend) was going to Annapolis! Love that place! It was such a beautiful weekend!! We took Sir Harvey with us! I was skeptical at first bringing the dog but soon found out that everyone else brought the dog too! I ran into some adorable pooches while walking the streets! Here's some photos to laugh at!

The great thing about Annapolis was that it really was dog friendly! We ate at Harry Browne's and it was definitely dog friendly! We were seated outside on the patio on the sidewalk and it was great considering how beautiful it was outside. The waiter brought out a doggie water bowl for Sir Harvey and little doggie treats too! It was adorable! Although the menu wasn't exactly GF, the waiter was very accommodating to my needs. This gluten free thing makes a girl feel very high maintenance, not something I enjoy! But thankfully people seem to be pretty understanding!

All in all it was really great trip! So happy I got to see The Boyfriend and Sir Harvey! On Friday The Boyfriend had to work so I got in some quality time with Sir Harvey! Aka the puppy got seriously spoiled! We spent hours in the sun and he got too many treats!
