It was CRAZY!!! The weather was great all of New Years. In Virginia Beach, there's not too much time out of the year you need a coat anyway, and we had hardly busted them out over the holiday. We had a great drive home all the way past Staunton (two hours away) and then out-of-the-blue: WHITEOUT. (OK, not a true whiteout but a lot of snow blowing at our windshield.) A few minutes later, we run into black ice everywhere on 81S, and nobody is going more than 15 mph. We pulled over for gas, heard about all the accidents and turned our afternoon trip home into a hotel adventure. One guy at check-in told Hunter he had personally counted 27 accidents on his way to the hotel. Think we made the right choice. The next day: cold but BEAUTIFUL!
The kids were super hyper but cuddled with Hunt awhile before Archie settled down in his bed and Grace in mine. Precious saying of the night: everyone is pretty much silent and all settled down when Grace suddenly busts out, "Mommy, I love you so much." AWWWW. "Grace, I love you so much, too."
The hotel had a small playground and the next morning the kids wanted to play. They lasted about five minutes.
