Girls Weekend - Korean Food chowdown

Before I even left Rochester, I was checking Yelp to see what restaurants there were in Frederick for our Girls Weekend. I was excited to see there were two Korean restaurants.

Yesterday we went to Gogibop. My sister said it was like Subway for Korean food. You choose rice or noodles and then what you want on top. But they also have Korean faves like kimbop, japchae and kimchi jeon. We were so excited we almost ordered one of everything!

Today Emily asked what we wanted for lunch and we said Korean again! Why not? This time we tried Bonchon. My mom says Bonchon means "my hometown". Bonchon is more of a chain, but the food was still delicious. We practically ordered everything again. Bulgogi bibimbap, mandu and japchae.

I also got an order of their wings... half spicy half sweet. My mom says she doesn't know when chicken wings became so popular with Koreans, but they sure do a good job making them.

What a nom nom nom weekend!

Girls Weekend

My sister invited me to visit for a weekend and we added my mom to make it a real Girls Weekend. Aaron stayed with my dad and the pugs for a Guys Weekend.

First item on the agenda was manicures and pedicures!

Don't our nails look great!

Then it was off to visit some antique shops.

It's so much fun to browse and look at the goodies. I also like to make my sister and mom pose for pictures.

My sister lives in Frederick, Maryland which has an amazing downtown. Shops, restaurants, cafes and coffee shops. There are only two chains in the downtown area - Starbucks and Subway. Everything else is locally owned. It's the most ideal set up I've ever seen.

The weather was unseasonably warm, perfect for window shopping.

One of everything please.

I got my mom to pose with this amazing lamp. She is as much of a ham as the rest of us.

So many interesting shops! This one had "historic candy". They featured candy that was popular all the way back to the 1700's.

This store, The Pop Shop, just carries varieties of soda.

Over 300 flavors!

I regret not picking up a few bottles.

I loved the name of this bakery.

This is how they deliver their cakes!

We had a blast exploring Frederick!
