"Done!" aka "My Long Summer Vacation" (part 1 in a 3 part miniseries)

It's Sunday, July 3rd, and the last week has been a blur. I took Step 1 on Monday & got that beast out of the way! I'll find out how I did in six (long) weeks or so. Finishing the boards I embarked on the long journey which was to be my summer vacation. Ok, really, it was only three days. Hopefully I won't repeat much of what Randall has already posted. On Monday we drove to Richmond and Heidi & I showed him around Richmond and then we went to the Taphouse to get Chicken-Pineapple-Brie sandwiches (so, so good). And of course, we had to show Randall the statue of Arthur Ashe, using his tennis racket and book to beat away children who are rising out of the ground.

On Tuesday we went to Northern VA to visit my Dad, check his painting hanging in the Torpedo Gallery, and meet up with Umakant & Amit at Pad Thai, my favorite Thai restaurant. Unfortunately, I've been hyping this restaurant SO much for the past few months that I don't think anything could have lived up to it's culinary expectation. But all that aside, I think everyone who goes there will still have to agree that this place really does put the KAPOW! in duck-ka-pow.

In the morning we took the metro, crossed the potomac (pronounced by Randall west coast style as Pot-A-Mac,

which I will try to lobby be his new unofficial nickname) to go to the National Gallery of Art. I made a little movie of our excursion you can find here. Or you can check out pictures from the entire three day vacation here.
