US East Coast Round One

Our two week US East Coast August tour went by very quickly.

In Washington, Joe and I got to dine with our friends Janine and Martha, which is always a blast. We ate at Komi. Martha, Janine and I had eaten there on my last trip to DC and I was really glad Joe got a chance to experience this amazing restaurant. It didn't disappoint on the return visit. This remains one of the most amazing places I have ever eaten. If you love food, you have to go, but book early. It's become a hot spot in DC and they are now taking reservations only 30 days in advance and those reservations all go the day they open up.

From DC we headed to New Jersey for a quick visit with the rents before going to the Merchant Marine Academy on Long Island for Joe's nephew's wedding. A couple of nights before the wedding Joe's brother and sister-in-law, went out to dinner with my family, which was nice as the two sides hadn't had a real opportunity to meet before. As we had expected, everyone had a great time.

The wedding was really nice and it was great to see so much family at the same time. After the wedding we spent a night at my parents before flying back to London.

It was a serious whirlwind tour.
