Connor's engineering teacher told him that he would get extra credit if he visited the Woodley Park Zoo escalator...so here is the escalator...Connor with his cousins Hunter (left) and Justus (middle)

The best part of the trip...according to Connor...snowmobiling through DC! Unprepared for the snow, Connor only had a light jacket and a hoodie (wearing both). Jeff had said a little prayer to make traveling easier and the guy on the snowmobile showed up. Jeff asked if he would mind taking them to the different monuments and he said yes. It saved about an hour of trudging through the snow.

Hunter, Justus and Connor by the Arlington Cemetery sign...the cemetery was closed due to the snow.
riding the metro- Connor, Justus, Hunter and Jeff
Jeff and Connor at the Pentagon metro stop-they went to see it, but it was closed.
Stuck at the metro...because of the snow. They weren't running trains to the above ground stations where Jeff and Dwight had parked-afraid the train would derail in the snow. Finally, after about an hour and a half of waiting, there was a large group that all needed to go above ground and they loaded one train.
Connor helping Peter shovel their driveway after returning from their sightseeing trip. After finally getting back to the car, they entered the freeway and found themselves quite alone. The freeways had been closed but they were able to get on. Most of the stores and restaurants were closed due to the weather.
