NOVA Trip

Saturday I went to NOVA for the day to visit my good friend Paul Bleau for his birthday. I have a McAlister's store meeting at 9am Sunday, so I did not stay the night for his party, sadly. The day trip was fun nonethe less. I arrived in Herndon at abotu 10 am and met up with the Minirussian for coffee at Starbucks. It was delicious and warm. At 11 I went over to the Sasala Complex and I was pleasantly surprised to see Ray Sasala, Jason's dad. Ray is one of the two guys tied for Coolest Man in NOVA, the other being Scot Nadeau. Ray and I caught up on old times, and Jason was jealous because Ray likes me better, but then he left. So I ran up to Paul's room to jump on his bed, but he was already awake. Instead I gave him a big hug and picked him and swung him around. Stooby was still drunk from the night before and slower at waking up. We watched some old internet movie clip favorites and looked at Jason's Dominican Republic pictures before going to the number 1 family vacation destination: RESTON TOWN CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right, I got to go to Reston Town Center, or RTC for short. I cannot say enough positive things about RTC, so I will not talk it up any further. We hung out by a fountain in which I tried to deposit Stooby. We walked around the new RTC and found a fountain that has jets of water that shoot up, very similar to the movie Blank Check, but smaller. Stooby would not run through the jets of water. Also, according to Stoobes, I have those little knives in my shoe that pop out and I used them to slice his achilles heel. We went to a new restaurant called Jackson's, where they have a bar that has a covered outside patio thing, and this place was really cool. We all grabbed a beer outside and just chilled for a bit. We went to Oktober Fest next to Clydes (formerly the $9 mojito place, but now I know the name). Oktober Fest was not as exciting as it looked initially, so we left for the Sasala complex. By now the afternoon was practically spent, so I sadly said my goodbyes and returned to Hburg.
