I'm home. Uneventful flights to and from DC. Happy to be back on American, and not trying to negotiate United. No lost luggage....flights on time....even early coming home. Oh the bliss!
We had an amazing week in DC. Will (Linda's husband) drove us around and Bob (Carole's Bob, not mine) flew down on Friday and he and Will toured the city while we taught.
The food....oh, the food! I wish I had taken pictures. We had the best calamari EVER at Logan's Tavern. And the most fantastic fried oysters at Hank's Oyster Bar. Saturday night we "celebrated" Father's Day at The Wharf in Alexandria -- almost positive it is the site of Carole & Bob's first real dinner date nearly 40 years ago though it looks a bit different.
So -- the best cappuccino I've ever had: Malta
Best garlic parmesan chicken wings: The White Owl in Mooresville NC
Best calamari -- the above mentioned Logan's Tavern
Best fried oysters -- the aforementioned Hank's Oyster Bar
Best ribs and hamburgers -- Alfie's Inn in Glen Ellyn IL
Now, the problem with finding the best is that it spoils you for trying that same dish anywhere else.
Driving in DC is not for the faint of heart, however. Especially in a Very. Big. Suburban. Will did a very good job negotiating roundabouts and spaghetti-like expressways.
The people in the course were very appreciative and very very nice. We'd love to come back and teach there again....
Hint hint...
