Opa!

We decided to brave the rain tonight in order to experience another restaurant in the area and have our very own "Thanksgiving..."Arlington style.  We stumbled upon Cava - a Greek Tapas Restaurant right in Clarendon. Think, Tapas meets Good Luck for the vibe and...ummmmm...well, the best damn Greek food you've ever had.  So much for finding mashed potatoes and corn, we'll get plenty of that on Thursday.  Opa, everyone!
Who doesn't love a Kalamata Olive?  Well, Wes actually...more for Jaime! 

Orzo with greek cheeses, tomato sauce and cinnamon = freakin delicious.
Tilt your head for some Grilled Meatballs

It wouldn't be a Greek meal if we didn't try out their Spanakopita. 
...and of course, we had to try Greek Mac N Cheese.  Not sure we can actually classify this as Mac N Cheese, given the use of pepardelle pasta, but taken literally, it lives up to it's name.  Whatever, it was delicious.
...and how cool is the silverware?!
All-in-all, a great Thanksgiving dinner in Arlington.  Or should we say Thanksgreeking?  Ok, we ate too much cheese.
