Vaso’s Kitchen and Gravelly Point

We decided to do something different today. After our morning walk in the neighborhood we took a drive to cool down. On the way home we looked up Vaso’s Kitchen website - a favorite Alexandria restaurant - and ordered a Greek pizza, avgolemono soup, spanikotiropita, and chicken souvlaki for pick up. On the drive over to get it, we stopped by the house and got a soda. We would need it for when we stopped at Gravelly Point on the way back home to have an unexpected lunch date. Since there was more than enough food for lunch and dinner, we thought the pizza would be great and easy to feast on while we watched the planes take off from Reagan airport along the Potomac River. There were a lot of cars, and a lot of geese. There were even more pigeons and crows waiting for handouts. The whole time we were having lunch a few planes landed, but none took off until we were headed for the exit. It hardly mattered because even in the ninety degree heat it was tolerable under the cloudy skies to do something different. And it felt good.
