Yesterday morning, Jamie and I ventured out in the snow with our snow boots to enjoy the Capitol under a blanket of snow. It was an absolutely beautiful day -- with bright sunshine and few clouds -- so we walked to the Capitol and check out the National Christmas Tree.

That's Jamie waving his arm.
It was great to get out there. Everyone was in such a good mood because of the snow. Kids were sledding down the hill adjacent to the Capitol steps, people were making snowmen and throwing snowballs. The city itself was so quiet except for people enjoying the snow.
I've known for a while now that I wanted to live somewhere that had snow. While I thought the more snow the better for me, I'm starting to realize it may be that I'd rather be somewhere where snow is a huge deal when it actually happens because then it's something that people are happy about. I don't know that people in Buffalo or Ann Arbor are as excited to see snow as we are in DC.
I still vividly remember the day when I was in Kindergarten and it started to snow in Los Angeles. It was an awesome day.
This is outside of The Supreme Court.
Don't know how much longer we can expect the snow to stick around. Looks like they are predicting freezing rain on Christmas...boo! Fortunately, I'll be in the Bahamas! If I can't have a white Christmas, I think the place I'd most like to be is the Bahamas...
