Blizzard of 2009!

well, the snow is upon us! i headed down to DC last night to meet E for his team holiday happy hour at black finn. we had a great time and it was wonderful to see some people i haven't seen in forever! we planned to stay over friday night and saturday night because E's company holiday party was supposed to be tonight. the party tonight has been canceled and we are snowed in at the crystal city sheraton. we had fun plans to venture out to the smithsonian but they are closed.

E and i did get out this morning for coffee and breakfast in the crystal city underground shops. i found some honey yogurt and granola to go with my caramel latte at starbucks. yum! E had an egg mcmuffin from mcdonalds. basically, the only places open were starbucks, mcdonalds, and subway. not the greatest choices but we were hungry!

(be forewarned, my pics aren't super as they are all taken with my bb)

we also managed to venture out again for lunch at chipolte. i had a carnitas burrito bowl (or half of one anyway).

now it's time for a long winters nap. gotta rest up. we are meeting some brave northern virginians for drinks after dinner. we are at at least a foot of snow and counting!

some views from our room (again, not good quality, but you get the idea)
