After all, it was Super Bowl weekend. We'd had plans to spend it with friends in DC for months. We weren't going to let a few inches -- OK, a few feet -- of snow keep us away!
So on Saturday afternoon (after finishing our items for the Super Bowl party), we headed north. The roads were fine until we got a little north of Richmond. From then on, they were covered in snow and pretty bumpy. Since we were in K's SUV, we didn't have to worry about skidding, so we pressed on.
We couldn't believe how deep the snow was when we got to DC! (That's a car under there!)
On Sunday, we watched Piper have a blast playing in the snow with our friends' black lab. They made quite the team! The lab would do an almost swimming, butterfly-like maneuver to make a path through the snow, and she and Piper would run around them. K would throw snowballs, and they'd chase after them.
Piper is not a big fetcher, but she'll chase after snowballs! When she got bored with that, she entertained herself with trying to herd the lab, which is at least twice as big as she is. It was pretty entertaining to watch them!
We drove around a bit looking at all the snow.
As for that last picture, K almost went crazy when he saw it. It was quite a fort, complete with a telescope and flag. The first thing that went through my mind was that I could see a very similar image someday (minus the Hummer, of course) in our future once we have kids!
The Super Bowl party wound up being a bit smaller than our friends had planned. The 15 guests they had expected was substantially more than what they wound up with. K and I were the only people who were able to come!
I think it was easier for us to put forth the effort in getting there because (1) we left the day before, (2) we knew the effort it would take to get there would be worth the distance we were going, and (3) we're just cool like that. As our friend put it, everyone already in the area was probably in hibernation mode. Plus, if their cars were as buried as the ones we saw around town, I can't blame them for not messing with it!
A smaller party meant better seating for all of us, more one-on-one time with some of our closest friends, and more yummy food for each of us!
Totally worth the drive!
