Minneapolis MN - Sunken Egyptian exhibit at MIA

A plan was hatched with our small New Year's Eve crew and today we executed.  Spent the morning enjoying the Egyptian Exhibit at Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Bethesda MD - Aunt Liz Celebration Day 3

One more day - but the sun was out and the snow was starting to melt.
Time to head to the church, cemetery and back to house for one more celebration - and a small gathering over dinner later that night.
The temps crept up to 40 so the melting was melting fast.  And off tomorrow.

Bethesda MD - Aunt Liz Celebration Day 2

Full house to celebrate and wake Liz in her home.
The snow kept coming.  Time was made to get out and build forts and snowmen as well.

Washington DC - Erin and Megan do DC

We woke up to the ongoing snow.
No reason to let a government shutdown or the never ending snow to stop a trip to central Washington DC to check things out and see what's going on.
No snow angels but plenty of wandering and slogging through the weather.
And Eileen and Evie played Uber drivers and met us from time to time for a warm up before the next stop.
First time I have done DC in the snow as well - a very different perspective without all the green and blue skies as a backdrop.

Bethesda MD - Aunt Liz Celebration Day 1

Time to head East and celebrate the life and times of Aunt Liz.
Grandma got herself in a tangle with a coat hook a couple days earlier, but it didn't slow us down.
We arrived a few hours in to the snow.  And 24 hours later it was still snowing.  11.5 inches later it was a beautiful mess all over the DC Area.
Added some new twists and turns to the activities, but everything moved forward.
Lasagna party night one - got in late but still plenty of party going on.
