After two weeks at the Defense Information School (DINFOS) at Fort Meade, Md., I was ready to be home in Norfolk! As much as I enjoyed the two-week Visual Information Manager's Course (shout OUT to class 010-10), I think it's safe to say that was plenty of time to talk production, imagery accession, budget, and personnel.
It is pretty much perfect right now in the Hampton Roads area, and I'm really trying to hit up my top spots in town. I have orders to the Navy Public Affairs Support Element (NPASE) West, and in a few weeks I'll be making my cross-country road trip to California.
Realizing our limited time together on the East Coast, my sister Sara decided to head down Saturday. We both just wanted to hang out and spend time together.
After the long (lots of traffic) drive from DC, a (super busy) day babysitting my friend's beautiful 9-month old daughter, and a last minute decision to skip the gym, we weren't making big-time, late-night plans for Saturday. We were, however, incredibly hungry!
First thing to order: beer.
Best choice: Sierra Nevada Harvest Wet Hop Ale. (It only came in large bottles, darn it!)
Second thing to order: food.
We started with a delicious artichoke dip! It was nothing like I've had before, extra creamy and pretty much awesome, served with pita instead of chips. The appetizer was so delicious, I didn't get a photo before it was gone! >> Coming soon! >> Beth's new and improved spin-arti recipe!
Our salads had a pepper parmesan dressing (like ranch with extra deliciousness).
My dinner? London Broil Pita.
Sara and Steve had burgers, Adam had some crazy huge deli special. NFG has great burgers, famous meatloaf, HUGE sandwiches and great service. Whatever you like, you'll find it there! It is highly recommended!
Basically, my dinner was exactly like my weekend. Close to home, in great company, comfortable and totally satisfying!
