Stranded in Bristow, Virginia (sort of)

We have hardly any snow in Bristow but we are probably putting off our trip to Darien until tomorrow, as the roads in New Jersey, NYC, and CT are pretty bad, lots of snow, winds, drifts, and they won't open up until later in the day.  Drew is off to the DMV to register his car, Hayden's still sleeping, Halle's engrossed in her game, Evie's making breakfast, and Jill's taking a shower.

I talked to Beth early and they have over a foot of snow and its very windy though its supposed to get better later in the day.  Chello's flight to Florida has been put off till Thursday, so if Jill and Drew drive north on Wednesday, as planned, we will have a full house to the night. I have the feeling we could leave today if we went in the early afternoon but it does not seem worth the chance, when tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and clear up the entire coast.  And Evie already has scoped out where the nearest TJ is so we will have something to do today...shop. We will explore the area and see what's around here, as we haven't really had time before.

Jill and Drew and the girls have left for Lexington, to visit Drew's parents.  We are at sixes and sevens, kind of worn out and wondering what, if anything, to do with ourselves. Fortunately, Patsi emailed me and they are willing to drive out this way and we will get together for dinner at the Asian Garden, supposedly the best restaurant around here.  We will head to Darien tomorrow and hope for the best.

Overall, a lazy day, like the air was let our of our balloon.  Neither one of us felt like doing much and just laid around the living room, watching TV or surfing the net.  I did go for a brief walk about it was so windy I didn't enjoy it much.
