We stayed in and watched \u201cTrue Detective\u201d (set in NW Arkansas); John cooked some delicious steaks in the cast iron griddle. \u00a0Tuesday night, John got to have dinner with Phillip, who was working in nearby Reston. So nice that Phillip\u2019s job gets him out this way now and then! Wednesday was a snow day, so I worked at home and watched the pretty snow.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday night we met a few friends at Ris, then John, Jimmi, and I stayed for a delicious dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Friday was busy at work getting ready for this trip! I had time for a manicure\/pedicure this morning before packing and heading to the airport.
