So how did my horrible day turn into a great evening?
3. Rode my bike...
This restaurant is cool. We've been talking of going to the 57th Fighter Group Restaurant for over 10 years. It sits on the runway of Peachtree Dekalb Airport. You can watch the planes land/launch about 100 feet from your table. Closer if you are sitting on the patio.
The restaurant was great, but the company was better. We had a difficult time ordering because Pam and I kept talking and forgot to look at the menu. We went with the waitress' recommendation and three of us had the Salmon Soufflé while one lone standout ordered the Stuffed Trout. (And boy was it stuffed!!)
I don't think we paused for breathe throughout dinner, we had so much to talk about. And no, it didn't all revolve around motorbikes. Thank you both for taking time out from visiting with your family to come spend the evening with us. It totally made my day better.
I too had a wonderful evening! It was so fabulous getting meet you in person. Great times.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time! Next time backyard BBQ so I can drink too. ;)
DeleteThis is why commuting by bike is so nice. A great stress release after a bad day at work! I'm glad you were finally able to get in a ride.
ReplyDeleteYou and Pam...getting to commute on the bike. I'm so jealous!! It was glorious being on the bike. As the destination was definitely worth the wait if Pam and hubby were the reward.
DeleteI would be a complete basket case if I went three weeks without riding.
ReplyDeleteThree weeks for you would also mean that something was SERIOUSLY wrong! :) Sometimes it just isn't in the cards. Everything aligned last night. It was wonderful.
DeleteAwesome. More blogger meet-ups. I have goosebumps!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you were able to turn your frown upside down and end your day on such a great note.
We're slowly working our way west. Hehe. We're getting to Oregon as fast as we can!! You and Troubador are on the list!! If everyone else we want to meet are like Jack, Mike, BRW, or Pam and hubby, we are in for a treat!!

Eat your heart out! It was all wonderful. I'm just trying to catch up on my meetings. You're still in the lead. ;)
DeleteDear Beemer Girl (Lori):
ReplyDeleteI know what it's like having dinner with you and Mr. Oilburner... We kept forgetting to look at the menu too. Fortunately, I had the menu memorized. I look forward to having dinner with you guys again next year or sooner.
Fondest regards,

Yea, we kinda had the problem in NJ too, didn't we? :) We had the benefit of you being able to make recommendations or just order for us. I think that is why we all went for the recommendations.
DeleteAnytime! Anyplace! On that dinner! It doesn't have to wait for you to be on two wheels again, but we want to be there for the inauguration if we can.
Wow! What a fantastic place for a meal, especially as I'm an aircraft nut! Always wonderful to meet other moto-bloggers.
ReplyDeleteOk. Come over and we will call it a date. We're going back. Two birds, one stone. Good food, and meet moto-bloggers with you and Jen. Hehe
DeleteGood to see you had a great time eating and riding and meeting friends after such a crap day.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a great end to the day. Wish we could end every day in such a way. :)
DeleteIt’s amazing how a material object can be leveled almost equal to our loved ones, friends in particular. I think the thing is it provides us the liberation we sometimes need - the kind which we appreciate only when we are alone. It is exciting to have total control over something. And the experience was enhanced even more by the motor sound in the background. You seemed to really enjoy the night as a whole. :D
