the d.c.

We planned a short trip up to D.C. this weekend for our anniversary/my birthday/the last romantical getaway before baby. We went up Thursday night, played all day Friday, and then rushed home Saturday morning thanks to Blizzard 2009. Sigh...

We did manage to squeeze in quite a bit o' fun, including a personalized tour of the Capitol building (thanks to a hook-up from Brittany!), some visits to a few monuments, some excellent food, walking into one of the Smithsonian museums 5 minutes before closing, and the Rockette's Christmas Spectacular show.

Tour the Capitol some time. Very cool. We even got to hang out in the room where the House meets. They didn't ask our opinion on anything, though.




On the ellipse in front of the White House they have the gigantic National Christmas tree and smaller trees for each state and territory. Obviously we gave shout-outs to our home states.



What's a nice hotel without robes, right?

This is what we woke up to. D.C. was gorgeous, but very not equipped for so much snow.

A delightful trip indeed.

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip and the Capitol tour--very smart idea to get away while you can (I wish Brian and I would have done that more)!

Your sister and I had the exact same first thought--who DID take that picture? Maybe it was Santa. Glad you guys had fun!
