However, no one predicted it would snow prettily all day, which it did, causing havoc at the airport, where a couple of snowflakes is enough to stop everything dead in its tracks. We're not prepared for that stuff here.
In other weekend news, Nova's group was scheduled to fly back to Seattle last night. They had a series of departure delays, and eventually the flight was cancelled due to a brief ground stop at the DC airports, just long enough to mess everything up royally.
Long story short, they were re-booked on the same Delta flight in two days, Sunday night.
What an adventure. On the bight side, they aren't sleeping on the airport floor--they got rooms at the Arlington Hilton, where Nova says the food is "much better" than the tour hotel. Hopefully, travel insurance pays for some of this. Teenagers eat.
Still, everyone is pretty homesick and of course many of them have colds. Hats off to the saintly teachers keeping the kids occupied for another two days.
The major mountain passes were closed for almost 24 hours, so a blessing in disguise they didn't get back late last night.
