We had a great weekend. Friday night we tried out new neighborhood joint The Burgery Company, which fills a long-standing local need for a burger better - more imaginative - than the diners which dot the mid-Atlantic.
Saturday I slept in, recovering, and we did some errands and then met Mitstifers up at Bear Creek for some night skiing. The weather was warm, the snow was icy, and we had a fun time cruising around. More skiing with them to come, I'm sure.
Sunday we woke up feeling proud to be Americans, so we called some folks about two hours before face-off and hosted an Olympic farewell centered around a fantastic hockey game. Team USA lost, of course, but that was my fault; with about five minutes gone in OT I turned to Jeff and said "gosh, Iginla and Crosby have really been quiet in this game." Whoops! Shouldn't have said that. Regardless, having the US and Canada quasi-tie for 'winning the Olympics' makes me proud to be a North American. Thanks, Vancouver, for a great Games and thanks, Team USA, for 17 days of memories.
Last but not least: Group photo from the top of Heavenly.
