Our 9th anniversary is next week and we'd normally go to Trummer's in Clifton (we live in Springfield), but when we add in the cost of a babysitter, we think that will cost more than is prudent at this point. Any ideas for some place nice reasonably close (will ask my sister to watch the kids) that can accommodate a vegetarian and isn't too pricey?
Thanks! |

| A lot of ethnic restaurants have good vegetarian options and aren't too pricey. I read a nice review of Curry Mantra the other day - do you like Indian food? |

| I'd get a picnic basket and go down to the capitol. Also, bring a steaming pile of shit in a bag and a lighter and leave it on fire outside Boehner's office. |

| Is there anything sentimental for you like where you went on your first date or a cheesy chain that you secretly love? |

Oh, good idea! I would probably go to Olive Garden and have a blast. It's good enough for Tom Sietsema.  Happy anniversary, OP!

| You could go to Rustico in Alexandria and stop and get cupcakes afterward at Buzz. Or go to Chef Geoff's in Tysons - it has tablecloths. Or Jackson 20 or somewhere else in Old Town, and walk down to the waterfront after. |

Do you have childcare you're still obligated to pay for?
If so, I think you can often get the same quality food for cheaper at lunch, plus save the cost of the babysitter. |

Good point! Out the kids in daycare if its lena and you have to pay, and go do a lunch or picnic |

I like the Capitol picnic/visit to Boehner's office option.
