West meets East... Nofolk & DC
Some people don't like to travel for work, but I gotta admit I love it. Possibly because I work from home, and strangely the office is a nice welcome escape. Or perhaps because my co-workers kick ass. :) On Saturday I got back from a week on the East Coast. I flew to Norfolk for the web dept. retreat, and got in early to go to Washington DC with my friend Jessica. We had an awesome time being tourists and seeing the monuments, and of course we went to the National Gallery of Art so I could squeal over the Picassos, Monets, Van Goghs, Braques, and even a Dali and a DaVinci! We even managed to accomplish my main goal for the DC trip: flipping off the white house. (Eating vegan food at tons of yummy veggie restaurants was a close second, and was also accomplished). Of course, I took tons of pictures!!!Highlights
The working part was fun, too, we had a 2-day meeting/planning retreat, and I worked from the office for the rest of the week and hung out with all kinds of PETA people. Norfolk is quite used to vegans, so there were tons of delicious restaurants with vegetarian menus. We went to several on the DC trip as well, including a vegan bakery called Sticky Fingers. :) Hanging out with everyone at work was fun, and I got to stock up on stickers, vegetarian starter kits, posters, and goodies from the PETA Catalog. Good times.
