My Last Days in Northern Virginia

I landed in DC around 5PM. I am not sure if I am bringing the snow where ever I go, but when I landed it was coming down! Big flakes, it snowed pretty good for about 3 hours after I landed. A long time friend and high school gold buddy picked me up and drove me to his place. I have parked my car at his house while I was in Vail, to avoid the $100 parking bill.

We grabbed a bite in Clarendon, met up with a friend and did a little pre-gaming then we were out! Our first stop was this hilarious little bar called Hunan Number One. Still not sure what that means, but I do know they have the cheapest beer in town. We meet a bunch of other friends that were out on the town. We ended the night what will probably go down as my favorite beer in Clarendon called Mr. Days. Ran into some friends unexpectedly, danced for a while, but by that point we needed to call it a night. We were all a little passed our prime.

GAME DAY! Super Bowl Sunday was great! Woke up and went to the golf expo that was going on at Dulles Town Center. A terrible event that I always seem to end up going to. The highlight for me was the long drive contest. 352yrds was the long drive when I got up, but I thought I had a bit more in me and I did. I recorded a 362, but was eventually knocked off by a 372. I tried again, but I do not have a 372 in me "during the off season."

I watched the super bowl at a friends in Falls Church. What a GREAT game. This will probably go down as the BLACK OUT Super Bowl, but it was a great test for both teams. Too often is the Super Bowl a blow out and this one was close, but it got close at the end. Great dramatic ending and I hear Destiny's Child is getting back together. Life was good. I spent the night there showered and hit the road I needed to make one last stop by my parents house to grab the last of my things. I was in and out in less than an hour and that was it. I successfully managed to pack everything I own into a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. Talk about a small foot print;).

The next day (Tuesday) I met a friend for lunch at noon and hit the road out of Norther Virginia for good! The Journey begins! First stop Lynchburg, VA.

I must say it was a strange, indescribable feeling leaving a place you have called home for so long, where virtually all of your friends live and a place you may never come back too again...It hasn't quite hit me yet, but I am sure it will.
