The Washington Monument Wants To Build a Snowman

We had tickets to go to the Washington Monument on February 2 but when we got there they had closed it due to wind. We held onto our tickets and waited for a reprieve from this craptastic weather and today was the day! The views are breathtaking (even when everything is covered in snow). Rusty wasn't so sure about the long elevator ride to the top...but she made it. We are trying to take advantage of all there is to see here in DC...because I'm never coming back.

London Calling

I must confess. I do not like looking at other people's vacation photos. I'm not even that keen on mine. But here are several (unedited) shots I took in London. What a lucky clan we are to be able to see the amazing buildings, architecture, and history of this city.
