date #1: Awesomecon
We met up with my sis and her bf and watched the individual Cosplay competition, tried to find a "Brony" (ps, there is a pretty fascinating documentary about this on Netflix right now) t-shirt and people-watched like crazy, because how could you not? And at the end of the evening we attended a Q&A session with Danai Gurira aka Michonne aka the best character besides Daryl from Walking Dead. Our (double) date continued with dinner and drinks at places we randomly found because they were in the neighborhood and we were curious -- Silo (recommended) and then even more drinks at Jackpot (low-key, semi-div-y, but cool place for drinks).
date #2: archery lessons
In reality, I had no idea if I was good at archery or just extremely motivated so Sly decided that for his planned date day we would take an intro to archery class at Bull Run and re/learn proper technique etc. We had a lot of fun, and guess what? I hit the bullseye again, even without the promise of a cold can of coke. Afterward we had coffee and brunch at our local diner. I think this date day might have to become a regular weekend thing.
