Christmas Goats

IMG_1623I’m back in Arlington after a 4-day Xmas weekend in Richmond with the family. Jared was home from Seattle and it was great having everyone in the same house for a couple days. Some friends of ours from college live about 10 miles west of us and have a mini farm going at their place. My parents volunteered to tend to their goats and chickens while they are out of town, so of course I brought the camera along. Here are a few pictures and a movie.

20 Inches of Snow

As I’d imagine you’re aware, DC got about 20 inches of snow over the weekend. It started Friday evening and was pretty steady through late Saturday evening. I mostly just hung out inside on Saturday and watched it come down. Saturday evening, I ventured out on foot and metro to meet some friends for dinner and to see Avatar. The movie was pretty great. Plot was fairly average, but the visuals and 3D were pretty amazing. It was nice to get out and roam around with almost no traffic around town too. Today, I slept in nice and late and spent a while digging my car out of a snow plow created snow bank using only a cookie sheet. It was an interesting challenge. I’m all set to be able to drive in to work tomorrow hopefully… Here are a few pictures.

The Sedona and Grand Canyon trip pictures

I’ve been procrastinating big time on getting these pictures up. The remainder of the trip went really well. The weather stayed pretty nice, if a little on the cold side. We did some great little hikes into the canyon on the second day in the park and then headed back through Sedona to Phoenix the next day. One night in Phoenix and it was a smooth trip back to DC. I’m certainly planning to return and do more extensive hiking in the future. Here all the pictures from the trip.

That's a big canyon
