Oxon Hill, MD (USA)

[drove into city early - worked a full day and then changed into formal attire again - drove Stephanie down to National Harbor and got there in time for happy hour before the the ATCA Dinner began - we were later joined by Kevin and Dave P. - sat at a table with German Air Force controllers and had a great night - the dinner was held in honor of Monte Belger and featured a Dean Martin impersonator, speeches by several DOT and FAA administrators and other co-workers of Mr. Belger, outstanding food and drink, and some good networking opportunities (again) - after it was over, I drove Stephanie home one more time and headed back to my place - bittersweet ending to the ATCA week: it was awesome to have these experiences but it is sad to have to wait another year to go! - already planning ahead...]
