It's a snowy weekend, filled with fire alarms and very cold photoshoots. Monday morning my parents; Brenda, Rick, and I check out of the Gaylord National Harbor Hotel. Outside of the hotel there are plenty of Cabs waiting, and the man up front finds us a black one. Flat rate fair into DC proper. We hop in and proceed to enjoy not being behind the wheel as our driver slips and slides through barely plowed roads.

From the amazingly beautiful Gaylord, to a historical property called the Hotel Harrington... Our first impression of the hotel made us skeptical. It was pretty expensive, all things considered, and the first elevator we saw was out of service. To the hotel's credit, it is OLD and in a great location. Our room didn't smell the best but passed the bed-bug check I do on everything I sleep on. We settled down for a bit to see what was in the area and what we wanted to do that day.

We soon settled on going to the near-er Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and soon walked on out to that. Unfortunately we didn't spend a TON of time there, only about 10-2 as it was still snowing, very cold, and everything had signs that they were closing at 3. Food there was amazing, expensive, but amazing. Apparently the Smithsonian's actually care about their cafeteria food.
