Oxon Hill, MD (USA)

[parked at Branch Avenue - work - left office at about 1600 and took Metro to Archives/Penn Quarter (raining) - met up with Greta at Plan B for happy hour (and light dinner) until around 1745 - then took Metro back to Branch Avenue and drove a short distance to MGM National Harbor (really rainy and tough to see the lines on the road!) - arrived at around 1845 and walked around the shops and restaurants until Voltaggio Brothers Steakhouse opened for the Redskins Suite Network Holiday Party at 1900 - just after I checked into the front desk, Marci showed up too - we went inside and got some drinks (and fancy finger foods) until the rest of the group showed up (Iman, Chris, Jacob) - then the food line opened up and we got some amazing samples of the restaurant's food (including tasty deserts) - there was live music, announcements from radio personalities (that I actually recognized) and great comradery - eventually (2100), Jan and Ronnette arrived and we met even more people she knew - I departed close to 2145 and drove home (not raining so hard any more but I was actually tired!)]
