Wild, fun weekend

This has been an enjoyable weekend.  The best part is it's not over yet!

Thursday night my friend Doug from college came for a visit.  I hadn't seen him since last November when he was driving through and we saw each other for about 20 minutes.  We went out to dinner on Thursday, then spent Friday at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Center in Dulles.  We had a great time.  I even got to use the shuttle simulator to land.  And no, we didn't crash.  The 8 year old that was actually doing the flying did a great job.  Friday night we got ready for people to come over and watched who signed who in the first day of NHL free agency. 

I was happy with the moves the Caps made at the start of free agency.  They filled a few holes but also made a couple of moves that made me scratch my head.  Bringing back Jeff Halpern and bringing in Tomas Vokoun were surprises.  I was disappointed to see Varlamov go, but it happens.  Hopefully that trade works out for both sides.

Saturday we had people over for a BBQ.  All in all about 30 people showed up during the course of the day.  It was wild.  We were glad to see some folks we don't get to see very often and a few that we haven't been able to socialize with.  It was a good relaxing day, but I Was exhausted last night.

Today has probably been the laziest day I've had in a long time.  It rained today for the first time in a while, so it was a good day to stay indoors and just relax.

Hope everyone has a great July 4!
