Tonight we attended a “see you soon” (not farewell!) party for one of our employees, Ellen, who is moving to Northern VA where her fiancé got a new job.
We will miss seeing her day after day!
The dinner was organized by the staff at Mono Loco, a restaurant favorite!
I had to partake in a virgin Spice-A-Rita! Best virgin drink ever : )
It was a bit steamy in our booth for 14
I feasted upon Bobby’s Burrito in a bowl – Crispy Cod + Spicy Shrimp! Plus beans, rice, greens and special sauces.
I wondered if I would be able to finish it all since Mono Loco tends to leave me stuffed, but I had no trouble polishing off my dish! Take that stomach space ; )
After dinner, we went over to Mary Beth’s for some dessert!
Served in a fancy red solo cup : )
Tucking into bed now – big day tomorrow!

Dessert in a solo cup—ha!
Ali @ Peaches and Football says
Hard to say goodbye to people you know! Yummy burrito bowl – reminds me of the naked burritos I get from Qdoba. Luv

Burrito bowls are always a great choice, especially when fish is an option!
Katelyn Block says
Let’s be honest here: everything is better in a red solo cup.
Girl, I would DEVOUR that dinner. Shrimp doesn’t last very long in front of my face.
Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See says
Solo cups are 100% pure class, right? 🙂
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Going away parties are bittersweet but this one looks like more fun times that bitter 🙂
Khushboo says
I am loving Karen’s green shorts- so snazzy!
Liz says
Love the pic of Ellen & Karen!
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
It can be sad when people move away. It looks like you have such a happy group working with you!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
At least she’s not moving too far! And what a great party!
Ann says
Aw, what sweet bosses you are! And she seems like a genuine sweetheart – you can tell from the pics! Best of luck to her and her fiancee 🙂
Ellen says
Perfect title. I’ll miss you all but I will definitely see you soon! Thanks for everything!

Cait's Plate says
Aw, what a great send off! 🙂 Good luck to Ellen in her next phase!
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
Goodbyes are never easy!
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
Yeah… Mono Loco is SO good. I ate half of my meal when I went there, and was stuffed! Then again, I also had chips and guac and plantains…
Julia H. @ Going Gulia says
I had Mexican food last night, too! First time in months (which is way too long!). Vegetable burrito–delish 🙂
Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy says
A crispy cod burrito bowl sounds delicious. I am experimenting with making Mexican food a bit outside of the box at the moment, so might have to give this a go.

I am sure it is hard to see great employees leave 🙁
