Snowmageddon= Volt Table 21 for Peter and Cory!

As I am writing this entry, its white white white everywhere outside...trees, cars, road signs, anything and everything outside is just completely engulfed with snow. 

This weekend has been named "Snowmageddon", "Snowpocalypse" and other iconic terms fitting of the crazy snow storm we are not even half way thru!

BUT, why not turn something so scary and dreaded into a positive, right? 

Lots of snow-bad weather to come EQUALS people canceling even at restaurants with super duper long wait lists!!

Thanks to Peter's pro activeness and creativity for contacting one of the owners at Volt, Hilda Staples, we just returned this Friday evening from a DELICIOUS dinner @ Volt's Table 21 tasting bar (which by the way, has reservations booked till middle of 2011--yes, next year)!!! 

There is only currently seating for 4 but we were told while there that they are looking to expand Table 21's capacity to seat 8 each evening, so YAY for all of you hoping to get in sooner than 2011!!

Before the Ride to Volt @ Frederick, MD

PZ showing us that it's not TOO SNOWY outside for a picture pose  *smile*!! 

I'm super excited for the upcoming Volt Table 21 meal!!!  I didn't even eat breakfast/lunch (okay, I had 2 halves of a Krispy Kreme donut--does that count?)

Me--MaxMara Brown Down Coat with Fur Hoodie, Loro Piana Red Cashmere Scarf, Juicy Couture Velour Skinnies, Dior Snowboots (yes those again!!)

We left our home around 3:30pm and we actually hit NO TRAFFIC!!!  Amazing to be on 495 on a Friday afternoon and to see NO CARS at all anywhere LOL (guess we were the only crazies out driving around AGAIN!!)

Arrived in Frederick, MD within 45-50 minutes weee

Hello Frederick, MD!!

We've been to Frederick, MD before (to eat at Volt during Restaurant Week in Fall 2009 haha) and found it to be a way cooler than we expected and we said we'd come back...with Bow Wow and walk around, well, not this time, or we'd have a frozen puppy!!

PZ in Downtown Frederick, MD along Market Street 

This really captures the awesome iridescent shade of this MaxMara Brown Down Coat, MaxMara really makes amazing coats and jackets...I highly recommend checking them out!!!

(message me if you want an awesome SA at MaxMara!!)

A super sweet family stopped and asked if we wanted pics together, thanks!!

Even though we didn't get to bring you Bow Wow, you were never far from our hearts and Peter's wallet LOL

Two Paws Up is such a cute pet boutique off the main road in Downtown Frederick, MD but check it out!!

And now...for the yummy part of the entry:

Outside...this is what awaited us on our drive home (but we got home safe and sound!!)

And this is what we found when we got home, isn't the shape on that bench so funny!!  We see "mattress shapes" on the roofs of people's cars and SUVs too haha!!
