National Tree and The Messiah

We saw the National Tree again this year. It was nice, but, like last year, was freaking freezing.



Snowing in DC. Not a regular occurrence.


Fog. Now that's more regular.








Standing nobley in front of the White House.


Fast, clean and spacious Metro. Much better public transportation than the big city up north.


These were our seats at the National Cathedral for Handel's Messiah. They were great, even though they were oddly placed behind the performers. The performance itself was phenomenal. It was actually a very spiritual experience. We took this picture right after the famous Hallelujah Chorus.


Addy, trying so hard to be patient and smile in the freezing weather where the last thing he wants to do is take pictures. The "feels like" temperature that night was like 17 degrees with the icy wind. Not a good time to be outside.
