We spent 6 days in DC before Christmas to celebrate Geoff's birthday. Since it was also during Hanukkah, we celebrated the holiday with Ilana's Aunt Kay and Uncle Rob. Alden liked the beracha so much that he insisted we sing it a couple of times. We stayed with Kay and Rob and had a fantastic time.
We were hit with nearly two feet of snow towards the end of the trip -- a record snowfall for the area! It wreaked havoc with our travel plans, as well as those of Sarah, who was returning from vet school in Scotland. Because we were both delayed a day, we were able to see her at the very end of the trip, which was a really nice bonus.
The snowstorm and Alden's tantrums meant that we didn't get out much and see Geoff, Joseph and Sandy as much as we would have liked. But we did eat some great meals. Kay and Rob are as gracious as two hosts can possibly be and we had a wonderful time with them.

After the storm we did a little sledding down a gentle hill by the elementary school.
In the prairie dog tube at the National Zoo. This was to avert a full blown meltdown, which worked for about 10 minutes.
Chillin' at the airport. Even though our flight was canceled due to the massive storm, we managed not to get stranded in an airport this time, which made our travel experience much more enjoyable.
