Shrimp Oysters & Beer

So, Thanksgivng is at an end. Our house guests have fled and returned to their home state. We are now in DC with Joelle's sister and her husband.

We went to the newly opened American History museum (awesome) and are now at this great bar where you can get booze and oysters.

I have to sa, I love the fact that we live far enough out that we wer able to get such a gorgeous house for cheap, but I do regret that there isn't this kind of class out our way.

Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to live in DC. I enjoy driving too much and get too frustrated with crowds to live in a city like this. But to live in Olde Town and have access to things like this would be great.

However, the trade-off just wouldn't be worth it. I'm not a condo kind of person (I've lived in an apartment building before... Not my style) and the kind of single-family home that we could've afforded out here wouldn't have been what we were looking for.

The long and short of it is that I'm happy where we are, the grass is just always greener (Interesting factoid that I am making up: the grass is greener because cow shit is a great fertilizer!)

Enjoy!

Beer and oysters, yuck! Of course I am not much of a shrimp or oyster person, but to each their own. So update on the academy yet?

It actually is amazing fertilizer. Only thing better is hot-composted horse manure. I've got plenty if you ever need it, though I doubt it's worth the drive! lol.

I'm glad to hear things are going well for you :)

Manassas does have a decent hookah bar nearby.

Stay classy, Dana.
