An interesting weekend.

Like I said, interesting.  So this is going to be my recap of the weekend.  This weekend definitely started on Saturday.  My roommate and I woke up Saturday morning for our first Brunch at the campus cafeteria.  It definitely leaves much to be desired.  After brunch, we went into town to meet up with a few of the other interns to see an IMAX movie at the Virginia Air and Space Center.  After checking out the gift shop and looking around for a bit, we went to the theatre.  When we got to the counter, however, we were informed that our tickets were incorrect and that we were an hour late for our showing.  After a "discussion" with a very unhelpful worker, the group of us went out for Mongolian Barbeque.  Now, if you've never experienced this, you MUST try it.  You walk up to a bar and get whatever raw meats you want.  Next you add the veggies.  Finally, get a cupful of sauce and spices.  You walk this over to a large circular bar and the grill it up for you on the spot.  It's a really cool version of stir fry.

On Sunday, Joe and I tool a walk into town to eat at a Japanese restaurant called Musasi.  We're going to be doing this pretty much every weekend, as our meal planes only cover dinner during the week.  On the way over, we went on a quest called Geocaching.  This is a global game of hide and seek where people hide "caches" in clever locations and then post the GPS coordinates.  There just so happened to be two caches within walking distance, so we went searching on our way to dinner.  The first was found without much issue, but the second required a lot of luck.  We literally circled the spot is was located about ten times.before Joe happened to look down into the bush.  For anyone interested in geocaching, chech out www.Geocaching.com for more info.

Well, I'm about out of time for today.  My girlfriend (who is awesome, I might add) just got a webcam and we're going to do our first video chat on Skype.

More to come.
