The Vegas Snow Curse
We are happy to report that Joe made it safely back from his annual work trip to Las Vegas. There is a pattern worth noting when Joe takes these trips:
The other noteworthy events of January were the flu, which both Anna and Joe had, and Joe's birthday, in which he was still down with the flu. We celebrated a couple of days later when he was feeling better.
The other excitement for the month was the new IPad mini that Joe purchased. Anna was thrilled and immediately began trying it out. She was have a great time playing with the voice activation feature and asking the device questions. As she was dancing around and giggling, she leaned over the device, misjudged where it was, and banged her head on the kitchen counter -- HARD. The result: two chipped front teeth (the IPad was fine). Of course they were her permanent teeth which just came in a couple of months ago. Thankfully damage was minimal, other than a slight vampire look. The teeth are repaired. Who new IPads are so dangerous?
Since Joe is back, we are predicting no more snow for this season in Washington. Next year, we will warn the rest of the family about the timing of Joe's trip.
- February 2010 - Joe's first Las Vegas trip for work. Snowmageddon hits Washington leaving him "trapped" in Las Vegas and Theresa & Anna snowed in.
- January 2011 - Joe's second trip to Las Vegas for work. A freak rush hour snow storm hits DC drops 8 inches of snow in 2 hours and leaves commuters stranded throughout the region abandoning cars on the roads. Theresa & Anna take refuge at Ms. Be's for the night because they cannot get home.
- February 2012 - No trip to Vegas. Washington has a winter of record warmth with no snow.
- February 2013 - Joe's third trip to Vegas. A record blizzard is currently pounding our family members in the Northeast. While Theresa, who was watching the weather with great apprehension this week, is grateful the storm went north and Joe made it home, Anna is disappointed that there is no snow to play in. Next year, we will be sure to alert family when Joe's trip is scheduled so that they can prepare for the storm accordingly.
