The Building on Saturday Morning

By now you've all seen a few images of the historic amount of snow that has pounded DC twice across the last week.

Waking up on Saturday morning the District looked pretty incredible with a blanket of 12"+, streets and avenues with carpets of white and trees glistening with ice and snow.

Meeting up with friends, those rafts my father sent this fall in advance of beach time this summer, turned out to be the perfect last minute sleds over at the three hills created at Rock Creek Parkway and Calvert Street.

Now with 5+ days of snow behind us, we are driving down to New Orleans today. That's right, driving - flights canceled and rebooking nearly impossible, we are going to break the 17 hour trip down with a stop at my parents' house in Chattanooga before heading to this historical carnival season otherwise known as Lombardi Gras!
