We - an entire big bunch of "we" - went from upstate New York to the Women's March in D.C. last weekend and had an amazing time! Now I am not a big fan of the color pink, but in this case, it really was quite wonderful.
Other activities to do when the weather is lousy (I saw the sun for a total of two hours over the entire week-long visit, and that was while driving back through central Pennsylvania)?

First up, you can squeeze or cuddle with the new baby in the family. Yup, Baby Ben is a keeper. And already has a nationwide fan base, many of whom are his grand-aunts. He has lots of those, by the way.
Or you could while away the hours avoiding the cold and crocheting "brain corals" for Professor Kathleen Hawkes (hehehe, now Hawkes-Boulay), who, along with her students is constructing an installation of a coral reef from yarn (I hope I have this right). It's all about higher math, nimble, mostly female fingers and honoring our disappearing landscapes.
Or you could just zone out and watch the winter weather do its magic.
