Snowed In
The beginning of our vacation started (and ended) here. We were scheduled to fly to Utah to celebrate the holidays on Saturday, December 19. Due to a massive snowstorm, our flight was canceled and our trip delayed. Fortunately we had decided to drive to my parents' house Friday night so we'd be closer to the airport. We ended up staying there until we flew out on our rescheduled flight day, Monday.
This actually wasn't a bad way to start out the trip. It was like a winter wonderland in Annandale with an accumulated 21 inches of snow. We were so grateful to have a nice warm home to stay in, fully equipped with cable TV, Internet, cozy beds, and plenty of food. Oh how we were grateful to be in a house and not stuck in a hotel room! The only thing that would have made our time there better is if my parents had been there! They had already left for Arizona where they were enjoying 70-degree weather with my sister and her family.
Doesn't my parents' house look lovely!
My father picked us up at the airport when we returned home from our trip, and we stopped off at their house for dinner and headed south after rush-hour(s). Pictures from our trip to follow.

Wow! I can't believe that's your parent's house. What a blessing you could stay there before making a later flight. So glad you made it and we could see you. Sounds like your trip was a success! I'll email you some photos.
