My college bestie is in town all the way from Honolulu, and he treated me to an amazing belated birthday lunch at Yellowbelly.

We decided cocktails were a must. I ordered the piña colada, which was quite rum heavy. Woo wee.

And we couldn’t resist the oysters, because obvi.

These were topped with watermelon and were delightfully refreshing. (God I sound pretentious…sorry!)

I had the lobster enchiladas as my main course. These were incredible. Very heavy on the lobster too.

He came back to the office for a bit for a tour, and to finish our chat. We discussed plans for a road trip so that D and I can hang with him and his husband in Roanoke (where his husband is currently completing his fellowship)…hopefully sooner rather than later. I miss them both like crazy.

And we made a point of getting a pic this time, because we always forget.

We’ve changed so much since 1997, but I still love him to pieces. Some things never change.
