[Beth]: Complete. Blog. Fail. Day one of our great blogging quest, and we already failed. I blame the continued jet lag and me being sick for the past two days. So time to play catch up!
We started our Virginia trip with a red eye flight from San Diego (through San Francisco) to Dulles, where we arrived at 7am. Although I can sleep relatively well on planes, Jared cannot. So we knew Thursday was going to be a long day. We went straight to my grandfather’s house and had a quiet morning visiting with him. After lunch with him, my aunt and cousin, we spent the early afternoon looking at old family pictures.
Then we headed into the city for the evening. We started out near Capitol Hill at the Hawk & Dove for some drinks and an appetizer. My friends Katie and Kristin joined us, as well as Jared’s friend Rojas. After a fun hour of relaxing and catching up, we moved down the street to We The Pizza. As some of you may know about us, we love the tv show Top Chef. Spike Mendelsohn was a contestant on season 4 of the show and has since opened a burger joint and a pizza place on the Hill. Our group increased as my friend Beth and Jared’s friend Arjun also joined us. It was a wonderful time to see close friends and eat some delicious pizza. After more than a year away from Virginia and so many great friends, it was encouraging and uplifting to spend an evening with them. As is true of many events on the trip we’ll blog about, we only wish it could have lasted longer.
