Christmas and New Years
On Christmas Eve, I flew to Greenville, SC to spend five days with my parents and some of my extended family. This was actually the first year my brother didn’t join us. He ended up going to his girlfriend’s family’s place. It was a pretty relaxing and low key. We ate a lot, did some walking on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, and got just enough snow that Greenville had the first official white Christmas since the 1960′s. Here are my pictures from the trip.
Last night, Jon, Lindsey, Jason, Melissa, and Jon’s sister Lauren came over for some New Years Eve celebration and we went to Rustico in Alexandria for a late dinner. We had a great time and drank some tasty cask beers. My last meal of 2010 was a giant slab of prime rib on top of a bed of duck fat fried potatoes. Mmmmm, saturated fat is delicious… Here are a few pictures from dinner.
I must say, the highlight of the trip was watching Aunt Cindy’s ecstatic reaction upon opening her new “Keith Richards Memoirs” book! Good times…
