Hello friends!

I hope you’re all having a nice week so far. My vacation continues to be lovely 🙂 It’s so nice to have a break! I went out to dinner last night with my dad at one of my favorite D.C. restaurants — Sea Catch, in Georgetown.

001

I absolutely love this place and jumped at the chance to have a dinner date there with my dad. We had quite the feast!

First up — wine, obvi. Chardonnay for me, please!

006

Then — salads! I had a refreshing avocado and grapefruit (!) salad:

008

And a mixed greens salad for my dad:

009

Both were perfect for a hot summer night! I love fruit in salad. I need to do this more often at home, I’ve decided.

Next up — my dad ordered some oysters. I stole one 😉

012

Slimy and delicious!

For my entree, I ordered the crab cakes. Sea Catch has, as far as I’m concerned, among the very best crab cakes in D.C. So good.

I liked the slaw that came on the side, too!

018

Plus some mixed sautéed veggies. Nice and garlicky 🙂

021

My dad ordered the special of the day… I can’t remember the name of the fish but it came out whole! Eeek! (Avert your eyes if you don’t want to see a fish looking at you in the next photo!)

“What you lookin’ at?”

Our server filleted it table-side — now that takes some serious skill. We were sufficiently impressed 🙂

016

What a wonderful meal! We capped it off with some fresh berries with a touch of cream for dessert. 🙂 Plus decaf cappuccinos, since we’re classy like that.

022

Thanks for a fun dinner, dad!

This morning, I was up bright and early to meet my friend Ashley for a run. We met at one of our favorite spots — the C&O Canal!

008

I LOVE running on the canal. Nice and flat and scenic, too! We ran 4 miles in a comfortable 37:51, for an average pace of 9:23. We were chatting away the whole time 🙂

I’m off to relax — have a great day!

  • I'm just outside DC/Georgetown and hadn't heard of Sea Catch but that sounds like a great dinner. Now I'm craving crab cake :D Just found your blog and am enjoying looking through old posts! I'm a pretty new blogger but it's always fun finding someone near me, even if it's just temporary!

  • Wow - I hadn't heard of Sea Catch before your post. Next time I convince someone to take me to a nice dinner, this will be my suggestion. I also love running on the C&O Canal, but I haven't done it in a really long time. I was telling Jess from Jess Runs that we should organize a DC-area bloggers/readers group run soon!

  • Love the photos along the canal. You are lucky to be able to visit such beautiful places. I used to walk along the bayous in south Louisiana. Wish I had some photos to remember them by now that I'm living in land locked country.

  • The food looks wonderful. I had a whole fish put in front of me one time and I put my napkin over the head. Yuk. Both of your dishes looks delicious. Hope you both had a great time.
