Alexandria, VA (USA)

[today was a busy day! - in the morning, Mollie and I drove over to the Episcopal High School to watch Brenna run in her first indoor High School Track Meet (Erin is injured) - had a hard time finding a place to park and almost missed Brenna's event (but we didn't) - stayed for some entertaining relay races, including Brenna's team (they did great) - Mollie and I departed soon after to do some shopping - we visited the Landmark Mall (near our house, but we had never been inside) - I've been looking for a business overcoat for several months and we found a good one at Macy's there - did a series of other errands in Springfield and Kingstowne - ended up eating a late lunch at Red Hot and Blue (BBQ) near Fort Belvoir (mmmm...) - got home around 1400L (still beat Nicky and girls back from the meet) - did some work around the house for a few hours before getting ready for the company Holiday Party - it started to pour - Nicky and I headed over to the Lorton office at 1800L and met up with several of my co-workers and higher management there - we had a good time for about three to four hours before departing for home]
