Penrose Public Square on Columbia Pike fulfilling its promise

Am embarrassed to say that Saturday was my first trip to Penrose Public Square on the "new" Columbia Pike.

The occasion was a client/friends "wetting down" celebration for being promoted to Lieutenant Commander in the Coast Guard at the Taqueria Poblano on Columbia Pike.  Adults were wetted down with the famous Taqueria Margaritas (or a thirst quenching lime cooler for the designated drivers). Great toasts, games for the kids, and Taqueria's unique Mexican fare had everyone in good spirits.  And for the children, Lisa special ordered several large boxes of Georgetown Cupcakes with an edible Coast Guard Emblem on top of each one.  Of course, she got enough so that the adults could have cupcakes too!  An entire week or maybe month of Weight Watcher's points in one sitting.

As an aside, it was great to know that you can have Georgetown Cupcakes do special emblems like that for special occasions (with enough advance notice).

It seems that Penrose Square has become quite the gathering place. Many people were cooling off with Menchie's Frozen Yogurt or enjoying fish and chips from Eamonn's.  Children (and some adults and their pets) took full advantage of the "water feature" to get "wetted down" and cooled off from Saturday's heat wave.

For everyone who has not yet checked out the "new" Columbia Pike places in Penrose Square, it also has a huge Giant with an hour's free covered parking. So check it out soon at 2500 Columbia Pike, Arlington, VA!
