If you’re going to travel, why not TRAVEL? London, Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam would all be fine choices.

Well, because it’s on my mom’s dime and unless she wants to do that I don’t want to suggest it. Plus international air baby. Plus we have to get the time off.

(Btw London she went on her honeymoon with Dad, Paris she saw with Dad… Vienna I guess she only saw the train station with Dad.)

My parents took our family to Tucson, AZ for New Years’ once. No toddler, but four kids, the youngest being four years old. The weather was pleasant and, as I recall, we all had a good time.

> Williamsburg at Christmas is stunning. It’s completely done up, but in a classic way - there’s not a plastic ornament to be seen. Consider [Great wolf Lodge](https://www.greatwolf.com/williamsburg/deals?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=great%2520wolf%2520lodge&utm_content=lodge_exact&utm_campaign=WILLAVA_Brand_exact&gclid=CJyO14jPi8gCFYgYHwodTqsDTg), for family friendly amenities. You can also get more for less by sharing a two-bedroom suite. They have a huge indoor waterpark, so you can get warmth, sun, and swimming along with a fair chance of snow outside.

Sounds like fun!

I doubt there will be snow, though–Williamsburg gets like five inches a year. Maybe they import some from the eighteenth century?

The NWS is predicting that Virginia will be ultra-slammed with snow this year. The last few Winters have been more like Massachusetts than VA. But this year, something something, mega-El Nino something, something, **T_o_n_s_ o_f_ S_n_o_w_**!!!1!1!!!
