So the night of the holiday party turned out to be the start of a major snow storm in Washington. It was snowing in some form or another from late friday night until sunday morning. By the time it was all done we had almost two feet of snow. At around noon on saturday we went out to the park next to our apartment and played in the snow. We had a good time and there were surprisingly few other people out. Sadly the snow wasn’t the right wetness to really be able to make snowballs so mostly we kind of just rolled in the snow and walked around in it.Mostly we stayed in doors and otherwise enjoyed the fact that it was so pretty outside but that we didn’t have to go out in it since the roads were a disaster. Here are some of the pictures from when we went out to play in the snow. Keep in mind at this point only about 1/3 of the snow we got for the weekend had fallen.
Unfortunately for nicole the weekend we got all the snow was also the weekend we were supposed to go to the theater to see Young Frankenstein. For most of the day I figured we’d be in good shape since the website was saying all shows were still going on and I thought we could just jump on the metro to get there even if the roads were awful. Around 1 we got called from the restaurant where we had dinner reservations to see if we were still coming cause they weren’t sure they were gonna open. An hour later they called us back to cancel so we where left without food before the show. So we headed over to Harris Teeter since it was nearby. Walking over there wasn’t bad since most of the walkways around the mall had been cleared properly and it was only lightly snowing. While we were shopping for food we got the bright idea that we should check the Kennedy Center again. Turns out they had just called off all the late afternoon and evening shows. Nicole was kinda bummed out since she was really looking forward to her show. We ended up wandering around the supermarket for awhile and bought a ton of food for dinner since we were kinda hungry and were trying to cheer ourselves up. For dinner we ended up with rib eye steaks, canned spinach, fresh tortellini with sauce, brussel sprouts and bacon. Yeah totally random but it cheered us up.
