Amuck on the Mall

Two months in the planning, and the (mostly) local T-Birds made it to the Mall for an afternoon of fun. Jake took a break from some training and drove up from North Carolina to join the crowd. We started at the Air & Space, but the phenomenal weather enticed us outside for a walk to the Botanical Gardens, around the Capitol, then over to Union Station for dinner at Pizzeria Uno.

March Pizza Night

The Yahtzees hosted Pizza night in March. The weather was great, the kids were nutty, and the adults got lit. Good times.

March Snowstorm

Early March brought a wicked snowstorm (well, wicked for Virginia). Alex bundled up and head outside to play with her neighborhood friend.



Snow time.



Usually you lay on your back for snow angels.



As you might have guessed, they didn't last too long outside.
