The Music Man was Upbeat!

George and Dal treated us to an incredibly marvelous outing! We first attended a fantastic performance at the Arena Stage of The Music Man.

We then drove over to Georgetown and, since we arrived too early for our dinner reservation, we took a very pleasant walk around the neighborhood behind the restaurant. The weather was magnificent.



We had a truly memorable dinner at La Chaumiere, one of the very best French restaurants in town.

                                                           Andrea's three sherbet dessert

                Christine's out-of-this-world warm apple tart with caramel topping and vanilla ice cream

                                                                                Dal

                                                       Dal's dinner - very artistic but what was it?

                                                         George offers a toast to friendship

 Andrea was cheered up by the entire outing - friends, the theater, the food!

Norwegian Class Goes to E Street

Some members of the Norwegian class went to the E Street Theater to see the Norwegian film, The Headhunters, based on the book of the same name by Norwegian great, Jo Nesbo.

Movie Night at the Lodge

 Our Norwegian class had a fun movie night. We ate snacks as we watched the Norwegian film, "Buddy"

Mother's Day 2012

Andrea saved the day again this year and took me out to lunch to celebrate Mother's Day. (Oh, you thought I had a son in the area?)

We went to our favorite Italian restaurant for special occasions - Assaggi in McLean. Not only was the meal absolutely perfect, I also received a beautiful red rose.

No, we did not order all of those bottles of wine that you see behind us. You should know me better than that!
