The Sun Comes Out

After days and days of rain, we were finally graced with the presence of the sun this weekend. It came late Saturday afternoon. We took advantage.
On Saturday night, Stephen and Henry hosted a Massage Envy Staff Appreciation dinner at a local Italian restaurant ... where, oddly, no pasta was served. But, other than that, it turned out to be a lovely evening and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The live music was a nice touch and I hear the grilled meat was pleasant. I can tell you that the grilled vegetables were awesome, especially the Portabellas. Stephen gave out several awards to a few of his exemplary Massage Envy folks, including Michelle, who received the Purple Cow award for service excellence. Henry got the 2008 Visionary Award. And, in turn, Henry gave Stephen the 2008 Focus Award. The “bromance” continues.

Today (Sunday), we decided to spend as much time in the sunshine as possible. We started at a local lake in Reston for swimming and ball fetching. Then, we headed to Great Falls Park (Maryland side) for a walk/hike. Stephen found a swimming hole for Lemon and she was able to get yet another swim in. Eli had the opportunity to see the massive waterfalls at Great Falls. She expressed her awe with one word: wow.
We bought an annual pass ... we plan to go back.
Drove back home to drop off Lemon and headed to the Kim's condo in Arlington for some pool time and then ended the day with an awesome dinner. Eli fell asleep on the way home. Exhausted, I'm sure. Aren't we all?
