• My weekend..

  Sorry it has been a few days since my last entry. On Friday night my wife and I met some friends that were in town from Seattle Washington. Ash and Elizabeth used to work together back home. They were in town looking to buy a house in the area. Elizabeth's husband has been reassigned. We went to Carlyle Grand in Shirlington. The Carlyle is part of the Great american Restaurant Group. ( Sweetwater, Coastal Flats ). Well let me say this I have been to four of them in the group. The Carlyle is by far the best. All four of us walked away like wow that was awesome. good night hanging out with some good people. Who while in town closed on a house congrats to Chris and Elizabeth. See you soon.

  My wife and I went away Saturday and Sunday to historic Richmond VA. It was a good time. I was really surprised how much the area we stayed in reminded me of home. It was nice. If you are ever in the area I recommend the pancakes at the Berkeley Hotel and the food at Richbrau both located on E.Cary St. The pancakes at the Berkeley were killer. Now while we where in Richmond we attended season five's So You Think You Can Dance tour. We are loyal followers, we watch it, we see it live, but this year I think we left a tiny bit disappointed. Although the routines we great, the dancing was crisp, they only did the routines you saw on TV. In years passed the tour introduced new routines and that was fun to be vowed by something you never seen. And speaking of wow. Phillip Chebeeb's solo was phenomenal. The crowd has gotten a bit creepier. There was the guy sitting in front of us who had binoculars. One would say what is the big deal. Well he only used them when certain people were performing. The audience is no longer screaming teenagers.
