the Lyons' den: A Tour

Yesterday morning Finn and I headed out to take photos of our area to give you all a virtual tour. Finn helped me take the photos. We started at our apartment...

and headed towards the metro station...

then we took off down one of the main streets. The building on the right side of the picture is a place called Hard Times Cafe where we go to eat Chili...

down this street is the grocery store Trader Joe's...

a view of the cool buildings. Most of the buildings have apartment buildings on top of them and or other businesses on top...

Finn took this picture of a place called Circa. There is a waterfall out front that just wasn't on yet this morning...

Finn's view of Circa...

This is a little cafe that sells organic and natural food only. We have had brunch there before...

Here is Finn's playground, The Container Store...

a lovely little store called The Papery. I will talk about this one in my next post...

Crate & Barrel...

Pottery Barn...

Through all the trees are a lot of shops like The Apple Store, Free People, South Moon Under, Ann Taylor, The Loft, Chicos, Barnes and Noble, JOS Banks, and a few more I can't recall. This is also where the little play area is. Finn calls this "waterfall park."

This is the front parking lot to Whole Foods....

This is an outdoorsy store called Orvis...

This is Red Mango, home of the world's finest smoothies and Crumbs Bake Shop home of cupcakes...

Cheesecake Factory...

We took off down a different main street to head home...

This is Whitlow's. It has pretty tasty food...

This is a "Mexican" restaraunt. When we ate there, Tosh ordered cheese enchiladas. They looked puzzled and said "we don't have cheese. Our spinach ones have cheese on them."
