What a crazy weekend this was. Darryl and I flew to DC with Ryan and Janelle. Joe invited our whole family down there to go to his company Christmas party at Founding Farmers restaurant, and he also asked us to do the Christmas music for his after party at his home.
Our flight was late so we got to Founding Farmers late, but we also went to the wrong one, so had to get another ride to the right one. It was very loud in there and not conducive to conversation...and there wasn't much of anything I could eat, so we had to buy dinner.
After that we went to Joe's house. There was quite a large group there. We did the best we could with the music, and not having the right equipment, and not enough mics. Everyone seemed to like it just fine. For me personally, I would have preferred it to be more organized. I do not like parties and so I ended up eating and drinking too much. It was a late night so we pretty much just chilled out the second day.
But the second day, Janelle wasn't doing well, so only 3 of us went to the Spirit of Washington dinner cruise on the Potomac River. It was just plain weird. It was just super loud and a totally foreign music genre and it was 3 very long hours. We got back to our hotel late the second night as well.
Then we had to get up early the 3rd day to go to the airport. By that point Janelle was getting worse, and I was feeling sick. We were supposed to sing at the Frontline Christmas Praise Service, but had to cancel when we got back to GR. I'm glad we did.
Today I did nothing but lay on the couch and watch TV and take a nap.
Tomorrow it's back to Christmas planning, wrapping presents, getting guest room ready, getting everything Christmassy ready. I'm hoping I feel much better tomorrow.
