Bravery in the Face of Screaming Jets and Cheeseburgers

This afternoon the family went to Ray’s Hell Burger in Arlington, named Food Network’s Best Burger in Virginia. After trying the succulent burger, I have to agree with Food Network’s assessment. Here is Yelp’s user reviews of the place. Seriously, if you haven’t had a peppercorn encrusted blackened burger, then you don’t know what burgers can be.

And since we were so close, we took Cartney to Gravelly Point in Crystal City to watch the jets take off from Reagan National Airport. We were worried he might be a little afraid of the jets screaming overhead, but as it turned out we had to keep him from climbing the security fence to get a closer look.
