Steven and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend away at Deep Creek with Lisa, Tony, Ethan, Kathryn, Mom, Don, and Laura. It was relaxing, as well as adventurous and fun! Food highlights included the deep fried Wagshal's turkey and fried chicken wings! It was nice to catch up with Don and Laura and kick around ideas for their big 5-0 birthday trip! Tony and Kathryn were patient and so helpful in getting me up on the wakeboard! Ethan ensured I was alive and the heart was pumping with a wave jumping cruise around the lake on the jet ski. How can an aunt say no to your teenage nephew? When he offers the ride of terror, you just say YES! Oh, I love those kids. We missed having Julia there.
Friday night, Miriam came over for a pot roast! News flash--we (and the "we" includes Quiet and Peanut Butter) are so excited she will be residing nearby and visiting often! Saturday night, we met the family at Chef Geoff's in Tysons. The food was delicious. They offered and specially prepared tuna tartare for me (which was not from their gluten-free menu). So good. And, everything was delivered to me by the manager, not our server. She reassured me and asked if I needed/wanted anything else--Impressive! It is a big deal when the restaurant goes out of their way to ensure you don't get sick from their food. Thank you, Chef Geoff!
