And thank you @bluespongerun and Shane for being the best host parents ever and putting up with me for 3 months!
My niece, Nicole, has been staying with us all summer while whe was interning out a radio public relations firm, and today was her last day. Last night we took her out to a French restaurant. I had the skate. I never heard of skate before. It turns out it is some sort of a ray (fish). I won't be ordering it again. Nicole had salmon, which looked delish. Shane had the skirt steak, which he said was so so.
It was fun having Nicki stay with us, and we're going to miss having her with us and her making us watch cheesy crime shows. She turned 21 this summer, so we took her out for cocktails (see photo below). Now she is headed back to school for her senior year. Have fun Nicki!
