Get Out: Patch's Pick-and-Choose Weekend Planner

At Patch, we're thinking spring these days.

The warmer weather has us throwing open windows, beckoning us outside - conjuring up (very distant) memories of eating on a porch, cold cocktails and flip-flops.

We're not quite there yet, though. This weekend's temperatures are supposed to hover in the 60s with a possibility of rain on Saturday. Boo.

In the name of optimism, though, we're listing a few activity options to get you outdoors and a few indoor ones in case, well, those dang April showers...you how the saying goes.

1. Arlington Farmers' Market

Where/When: Intersection of North Courthouse Road and North 14th Street in the Courthouse area of Arlington. Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon.

Why Go: This is must-stop shopping for anyone living in the Clarendon-Ballston corridor, and just a short metro ride on the orange line (or a nice, leisurely walk on a warm, spring day) across the Key Bridge from Georgetown. Stock up on fresh bread, local honey and the first of those precious green veggies.

Pricing: Free to attend. Vendor prices vary.

2. FRESHFARM Market - Dupont Circle

Where/When: Dupont Circle, 20th Street NW between Massachusetts Avenue and Connecticut Avenue in Washington. Sunday, 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Why Go: In case the predicted rain keeps you from making it to the Arlington Farmers' Market on Saturday, make sure you check out this mother-of-all farmers' markets in D.C. Dozens of vendors will be featuring goods ranging from fresh produce to homemade gelato. (yum!)

Pricing: Free to attend. Vendor prices vary.

3.

Where/When: , 1041 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Georgetown. Saturday, 9:30 a.m. t0 11 a.m.

Why Go: The Easter Bunny is coming eight days early to Grace Episcopal Church in Georgetown this year. Approximately 2,500 eggs (you know, those colorful ones with the candy inside) will be hidden for two separate egg hunts. Not to mention, there will also be a bike giveaway, face painting, cotton candy and visit from the Easter Bunny, himself.

Pricing: Free

4.

Where/When: Hendry House, Fort C. F. Smith Park, 2411 24th St. North, Arlington. Sunday, 5 p.m. to  7 p.m.

Why Go: Dr. Thomas Lovejoy, a well-known biodiversity environmentalist will be the guest speaker at this annual event. Several awesome items will be on the silent auction block including natural Northern Virginia honey, Nationals tickets, theater tickets, restaurant gift certificates and local farm memberships.

Pricing: Tickets are $40.

5. NSO Pops: Pink Martini

Where/When: The Kennedy Center Concert Hall, 2700 F St., NW, Washington. Wednesday and Friday, 8 p.m. Thursday, 7 p.m. The 8 p.m. performance on Saturday is sold out.

Why Go: Take a two-hour trip back in time to the 1960s. The Kennedy Center's description of this performance says it all: "If the United Nations had a house band in 1962, Pink Martini would be that band. One minute you're in a samba parade in Rio de Janeiro, the next you're in a palazzo in Naples. Together with the NSO Pops they're making a musical travelogue."

Pricing: Tickets range in price from $20 to $85.
