Duay Adventures

Jon and I had a Groupon for the Tackle Box, a seafood restaurant in DC, near the zoo. After dinner, we decided to go see the Zoo Lights. Zoo Lights is the National Zoo's way of celebrating Christmas. They have lights up in animal shapes. Unfortunately, we can't see the real animals. But many of the displays were animated.

Here are some of the videos I took.

Jon has a friend from Utah that has been in town doing some training at Fort Meade. We decided to take him to see the Atlantic Ocean. Since I was off the Saturday before Thanksgiving, we decided that would be a good day to go. Luckily, it was also a gorgeous day.  Jon in front of the ocean AJ in front of the ocean Looking north down the beach Seashells Large seashell

On the way home from Cleveland, went through Puxsutawney, Pennsylvania.  It is the famous sight that every year on Groundhog Day, Puxsutawney Phil is taken out of his burrow and predicts how long the winter will be. It also the town that the film Groundhog Day is supposed to take place.  Statue of Phil There are several statues of Groundhog's throughout the town. I'm not sure but it looked interesting.
