We have a few friends currently living in Europe, so when we booked our cruise we reached out to see if anyone would be able to meet up with us for a day in Venice. Of course both couples responded to let us know that they'd be in DC while we were in Italy. Isn't that just how life goes? Luckily our trips didn't overlap completely, and we were able to get together with everyone once we returned to DC.
The Tuesday after we got home, we went downtown to meet up with a group for trivia at Zach and Claire's favorite bar. I'm assuming it's their favorite bar. They knew the bartender very well.
We had so many people that we ended up dividing into two teams, neither of which won. The game was really complicated. There were ten rounds with various rules and categories, and I probably didn't stand a chance at any of them. The answers I knew were few and far between. But it was a lot of fun to catch up with our friends over beers and bar food.
On Friday, Kevin's friend Karl came over to our house with his 20 month son. Carolyn and Craig joined us, and we spent the evening playing games and catching up. The toddler was sufficiently entertained by Kina, who in turn was impressively calm. She stood up and walked away a couple of times, mostly towards the end of the visit. But I was really happy that she did so well with the kid's attention.
It was nice to see our friends, even if the timing was a little off. They all have plans to move back to the US before too long, and hopefully we'll see more of each other then. In the meantime, we take our brief visits where we can get them.
