Hanging In Lexington, VA

I'm down in Lexington, VA for a couple of days while my wife and her dance partner (Arachne Aerial Arts) performing at William and Lee University. While I've been here I haven't had much time to explore - with a big snow fall and all - but, I was disappointed with two places we went to earlier today.

Adelais and I went to see the performance today at the Lenfest Hall and during intermission we went to change her diaper. Unfortunately we found that none of the mens' rooms had a changing tables. The arts center isn't the newest building, but there is certainly plenty of room to add a changing table in any of the bathrooms we checked out. A big disappointment.

After the performance we went out to eat to The Southern Inn, a local landmark for the last couple of decades - someone mentioned that their mother went there on her first date in 1938. It was good to very good southern cooking. Of course, the bathrooms haven't been updated since the 1970s or so...hence, no changing tables and even no room to lay her on a changing pad on the floor. Excellent time, disappointed in the bathrooms.

Caribou Coffee is a YES

I was doing some working in the Caribou Coffee in Silver Spring and was pleasantly surprised when I went into the bathroom and found a changing table. Adelais wasn't with me, but in the future I know that I will not be left stranded if the needs arises!

Food Matters, yes it does

Went for New Year's morning brunch today with the family and some friends in Alexandria, VA. Friends suggested Food Matters, so we gave it a try. The restaurant opened at 9am, but when we arrived at 9:30 we were the first ones there and the staff seemed alittle slow moving - I'm sure they weren't too happy to be working so early. But, the food was quite good - well prepared, tasted very fresh and they gave us free black-eyed peas as an appetizer - suppose to be good luck for the new year. Before we began to eat I took Adelais to the bathroom and, yes Virginia, they had a changing table. So, good food and a changing table is waiting for you at Food Matters in Alexandria, VA.
