Nick and I were back in DC for Steve's wedding which was October 7th and had a fantastic time. It was really, really nice to see everyone again, and it made us both realize that no matter how great life is out here, how good the food is, the weather, how much there is to do...it really doesn't compare to having great friends and family around you. Maybe it will really be a two year vacation after all...
Below are some pics of the happy day - not the best photography ever done, but you get the idea:
I also have the most awesome video of Steve & Kerry dancing, but I think I'll have to get permission from the happy couple once they get back from their honeymoon before distributing that one prime time. It was a truly awesome day and right now I hope they're lying on the beach in Aruba sipping frozen daquiris. Ahh..
Tonight is another "wine with the neighbors" party across the street from our apartment, and the theme is "Arabian Nights". We're all supposed to bring a bottle of wine and an Arabic appetizer. You'd think that I'd have some more creative ideas, but I'm stuck for anything that doesn't take hours to prepare (see what I sacrifice for the sake of this blog?). So I'm copping out and bringing Lebne (strained yogurt) with a touch of olive oil and sumac and some toasted pita bread. Tomorrow we're heading back up to Sonoma for another route of wineries and a hopefully delicious dinner at a place called Cafe Le Haye that both my chiropractor and the couple we met at the last wine party recommended to me. I don't know how it's going to beat the Girl and the Fig, but I hope it does.
