Since I got home from California so many things have happened! I'm going to hit the big points.
Bo was in DC for work from Hiroshima! Very exciting for me. As lovely as my girls in Virginia/DC are, I was in some serious need of some San Francisco spirit in my life! The Manhattan Project exhibit at the American History Museum and seeing the Enola Gay at The Udvar Hazy Center were special treats for me. Bo's knowledge on these exhibits far exceeds the information given on the little signs in the museum (obviously). Not to mention all of the fun facts he has up his sleeve. Lunch at the Hell Burger was the best meal we had... Probably the strangest twist to Bo's visit was when we decided to head to U Street for a couple beers at Solly's. We went upstairs and were so stoked to have the table with the view! A couple of beers in the entire building jolted. WTF... We looked out our window and saw a cab hanging half way out of the bottom part of the bar. Moments later the bartender/owner was rushing us all down the smoked filled stairs to the street. It turns out that the cab driver had a seizure and, just as he was picking up a fare, hit the gas and plowed into the bar. Somehow he managed not to seriously injuring a single person.
Ray's The Steaks has officially moved! We are now triple in size and working our asses off. The new location is beautiful. Our first night was a bit chaotic! The hoods didn't have enough suck for all of the smoke off the grills. Lucky for us it was warm enough out to have all of the doors opened, but we were still pretty smoked out. No one was pissed. Everyone ate and was happy, especially with their half off checks. We do have a lot of new trainees. The good news is that most of them are eager and ready to work. After twelve days on my body decided that enough was enough and I have been in bed, sick as a dog for the past five days.
And the cherry on top! Leanne had a baby girl!! Because I am sick, I haven't been able to go and visit yet. But hopefully by the end of the week I can drop in see the belly, face to face :)
With a little over a month to go as an East Coast resident I'm trying to work as much as I can and make time for my new friends, that I'm hoping to hang onto once I move.
