And the adventure continues!!

Well the first blog post got cut short because
I was trying to use my iPhone to do it, and it wasn't behaving.

Onward!


Our little NYE adventure was fabulous.
There was some great sightseeing on the metro...

We found a ridiculously long escalator that

I refused to ride to find the bathroom... But Glenn took the ten minute ride to the top by himself and left me standing at the bottom, getting vertigo from looking up.



DJ & Miriam eventually came along and of course, brother HAAADD to go up the big escalator too.


Boys will be boys!


But, girls will be girls too ;-)



The Rosslyn stop has great photographing light, and was basically like a hair models dream, like standing in a wind tunnel!So we took advantage and did a mini photoshoot... with my cell phone... Okay, so they didn't come out as planned, but it was fun nonetheless.



















And then we saw someone make the decision to not get off the escalator, ever. For the entire 5 or so minutes that we were standing there, they just sat at the bottom of the escalator.

So, moving along on the adventure... we did eventually make it to Old Town Alexandria, and Kings St. was beautiful, all lit up with X-mas lights! I soo wish that we had more time to explore! We ate at a place called Hard Times Cafe, and... well I wasn't much a fan. My boneless wings tasted... strange. And there was WAYYY too much chili on the nachos.



After dinner, we scooted down to George Washington National Masonic Memorial for their NYE celebration. We heard some terrible a capella singers, and waited for the countdown! The first time in three years that Glenn and I actually celebrated New Years! It was fabulous to be up past 7:30 =] And to ring in the New Year with people that we love and miss so much!

We tiredly caught the metro back to E. Falls Church with not AS much excitement. I tried to join forsquare without any service on my phone. Looks like I'm still outta that loop.

Our pups welcomed us and we ended the night on the couch with the fire in the fireplace roaring. Soo cozy!

We spent the next day and a half just hanging out and enjoying each others company. I have no clue how DJ & Miriam can make the trip home every month, it's such a longgg ride! Especially with the NJ traffic or the scary backwoods of the PA mountains!



Ok, not so scary in the daytime, but we had to get gas at night and it took us 13 miles off the main road to find a gas station. ANNDDD they've got crazy medians where there shouldn't be. ANDDDDD stop lines don't exist, even is confusing intersections. AnnnDDDdd a Cracker Barrel every two miles, even in the middle of nowhere.

We had a great time, Glenn and I are both soo thankful for the time we got to spend in NoVA & grateful for brother & mim's hospitality.

Ready for whatever other adventures 2011 decides to bring! =]
