florida family in town

For the first year ever, our Florida family headed North for the holidays rather than the other way around. We really missed Alex's sister and boys who didn't join the festivities, but we enjoyed ourselves no less. It was also the first time GG and Paul had been to our new home and met Jenna!


We kicked off their visit with a trip to the Capitol for a celebratory lunch for Alex's upcoming birthday only to find out that the Smithsonian restaurant had closed several years ago. We made do with another eatery, but had to cross the mall which was still covered with snow and ice from the previous storm. But all survived the trip unscathed!
