Big Nick Returns
We had a great visit with nephew Nick about a month ago. We were so busy having fun, though, that we forgot to bring our camera with us when we went out. The highlights were:
- A Capitals game — the Islanders won and Nick tested his vocal cords (and the patience of the Washington fans) following the lead of a fellow Islander fan and yelling “Let’s go Islanders” as we walked down the 4 flights of stairs to the street.
- Going to a college class and then work with Uncle Frankie — Nick got a taste of what a real college English class looks like at 8 AM.
- Visiting the Spy Museum — Nick and I did that while Frank worked that afternoon.
- Mongolian BBQ — we were told that this might even rival Chinese food, the former Nick favorite.
- A winner-takes-all game of Risk — although we quit before anyone won.
- Weekday bowling at Lucky Strike in Chinatown — probably the fanciest bowling alley we had ever seen and pleasantly empty at 2 PM on a Friday.
We’re looking forward to his next visit — perhaps this summer! A few pictures from his visit are here.
