So, after a wonderful week in Myrtle Beach, it was time to face the idea of driving home :( We broke the drive up into two days again, so Saturday night we stopped in Herndon, Virginia again (we were so impressed with the hotel on the way down, we decided to stay there again).
We arrived and checked into the hotel just before dinner time, and then decided to take advantage of the hotels free shuttle to go out for dinner. We decided to go to nearby Reston Town Center, and we were pleasantly surprised with what we found! The only way I can think to describe it is to say it's like a very upscale/classy version of The Byward Market, in Ottawa. It was a really unique combination of office/business buildings and upscale shopping and restaurants.
These next pictures will give you an idea of how 'upscale' this place was...while we were there, there was some type of fundraising dinner going on and it was sponsored by Jaguar. We joked about sneaking past the ropes for a bite to eat, but, I'm pretty sure we would have stood out - after all, we weren't wearing ball gowns or tuxedos!
Now, this isn't exactly upscale or classy, but, we also got to eat at a Chipotle while we were there. I've been hearing a lot about this restaurant lately - first, from Bubba Watson on Twitter, and then from a guy we were chatting with around the pool at Barefoot - so I was excited to have a chance to try it. And, it was DELICIOUS! I'll say it's like a Subway, except with Mexican food - instead of picking your toppings for a sub, you pick toppings for a burrito, bowl or taco.

I wasn't thrilled to be at the end of our vacation, so it was nice to have one extra night of sight seeing and trying new things!
