Weekend in Virginia/Maryland

This past weekend, I went out to Virginia to visit Charlie. We went to Shenandoah National Park on Friday, Saturday was spent hanging out with various friend which ended in a small dinner party at Brian’s house; and Sunday was spent eating seafood – crabs in Annapolis then sushi in Germantown. I flew back early Monday morning and from the airport went straight to work. I finally got to offload and upload the pictures I took from the trip and now a little post about the trip.

Pictures from the past few weekends…

Here are a collections of pictures taken over the past couple of weekends. I went diving with a co-worker on the 4th. On the 11th, Angel, Nicky, Terry, and I went to a Clippers’ game courtesy of a co-worker of Terry’s who had the tickets and wasn’t planning on using them. This past weekend, the east coast crew came out for a visit; they flew in Thursday night and flew out on Monday morning.

Stick Food

For lunch today, a friend and I went out to have what we have affectionately termed “stick food“. We used to hit up a place that was closer to work, but early last year, they cut out their lunch hours and are currently only open for dinner. Today we decided to try one a little further away, but still fairly close to work. The restaurant we decided to try is part of the 新選組 (Shin-Sen-Gumi) group of restaurants – yes, the term refers to samurai era police enforcement; but this is the name the restaurant group uses. I have been to their Shabu-Shabu as well as their Hakata Ramen restaurants; good eats. Today we hit up their Yakitori restaurant.
