Whole Foods!

Not only am I in heaven with the new Whole Foods in Foggy Bottom, but this also means my bank account also has a good chance to be much smaller!!

Whole Foods is really catering their efforts to the GW community- students, staff, hospital employees and neighbors! I happen to work nearby so this is super convenient for me!

GW Cheerleaders and ole George even stopped by for the GRAND OPENING!!! I was in the area and surprisingly not working when I saw the grand opening activities, so I decided to partake!

I thought it was interesting instead of a traditional ribbon cutting, Whole Foods breaks bread...

They had free samples....including a delicious Avocado Nutty Salad (recipe below) lots of employees around to help you find what you need, overall a great experience! There were a ton of people there, so I grabbed a bagel and coffee...looked around a bit and dashed! I will be returning in the near future though!!!

A visit to the bakery is on the list....
