Since it was supposed to be a nice day we planned to head out to Reston Town Center for lunch and frozen yogurt. After church we went back home, changed, re-packed the diaper bag and headed out with our friend Kathleen. We went to Rio Grande for lunch and actually sat outside. I don't think I have ever wanted to eat outside in the month of July before because it is usually ridiculously hot and humid, but today was a totally different story. It was beautiful...not too hot and a nice breeze! We had a yummy lunch, Charlotte got to people (and bird) watch, then we took a stroll around the center. Kathleen had fun pushing Charlotte around in her stroller and we were joking that she was our Au Pair :) We checked out the menus of a few restaurants and made plans to come back soon!!
After a lap around some of the newer parts of the center, we walked back up to take a look at the fountain in the "old school" part. Then, it was time for our treat! We went to a place called Yogen Fruz - the latest craze in frozen confections...tart yogurt with interesting toppings. I first discovered this type of yogurt at Pinkberry in CA. I had yogurt with fruity pebbles on top! I wasn't a huge fan of Pinkberry but this was not as tart and very yummy. They also have regular vanilla and chocolate yogurt that you can get blended with different kinds of fruit. We sat outside to eat our treat while Charlotte looked on. She didn't seem too interested but we gave her a bite just to see what she would think. Here is the result -
She also had a similar reaction to trying Kat's blueberry/vanilla yogurt and had the stain on her shirt to prove it. Steve and I are wondering if this memory will stick and every time we are eating ice cream/frozen yogurt she won't want any. Wishful thinking I guess :)
Overall it was a great day and we're glad we got to spend time with Kathleen (aka Helga, our Au Pair) :)
