Christmas on the East Coast. 2010 edition

We spent Christmas on the East Coast for 2010.

We were originally supposed to stay for 4 days but we ended up staying an extra 3 days due to a blizzard. (damn you winter! why must the holiday season also be the winter season?).
The pro was, I got to see Washington DC with the extra days we had.
The cons were, I had to take extra days off work (more than I can afford!), I lost a client for my pet business (more about that later), not enough fresh food in the fridge at home for the guinea pigs, and had to pay extra $$$ at the LAX long term parking lot

Curse you winter!!!
In my ideal world, I would live in Hawaii forever, where it's summer 365 days a year. mmmm
=)

Now on with the photos!
We started our trip in New York, spent the middle of our trip in New Jersey, then drove down to Washington DC to end our trip there.
