Build day!

Today was our first build day in Charlottesville. We kept busy working on the flooring and the site supervisor called me a rock star because we rocked the flooring together. It was a lot of fun. They also got word of my meteorology degree when I checked the radar for the incoming storm and I was "threatened" with multiple lawsuits if my 'forecast' was wrong.. thankfully the weather held up and we were able to finish the days work. I can't wait to work with Dom and the crew again tomorrow!

Dinner was provided at Whole Foods. We showed up and for some reason they hadn't been able to properly prepare for us, so we each got a gift card to spend on whatever we wanted for dinner. It was incredible! I tried a little bit of a bunch of stuff and couldn't come close to finishing it. They also surprised Eduardo with a delicious birthday cake that we all split. It was amazing!

A group of us went out to a local restaurant/bar to celebrate Eduardo's birthday. I got Bishnu out on the dance floor for one song and it was a blast. I think I burned as many calories with that one dance as I do riding an hour. We were jumping around and boogy-ing like crazy... just having a great time! We got ready to head out and decided to get fries. So we found a place and talked them into making us an order of fries to go. They were very seasoned and hit the spot.

Quote of the day: "Son of a Bishnu!" (this became one of our team mottos for when anything went wrong)

Cap Ride in the News! We were also on the stations nightly news, but I couldn't find a link to it.
