Winter Fun: Places to go Sledding in Northern Virginia & D.C.

Snowstorm 2010Chances are that today you are going NOWHERE!  There's 20 inches of snow right now and it's still coming down steadily. 

 

I offered to show homes today in my 4 wheel drive, but didn't get any takers...

 

 

 

 

Instead I'm relaxing at home with some hot cocoa in a mug provided by my favorite local settlement company, The Settlement Group.

However, once the snow stops, you may be interested in taking the kiddies, or just yourself to go sledding.  Where to go?  Here, thanks to the bloggers at We Love D.C. is a list of the best area hills for sledding.  Make sure you bundle up!

Wish I had a sled but instead I'm heading to one of my clients homes (via foot) in a neighboring condo building for a Blizzard Party.

Brian, We have some fabulous toboggan chutes nearby where the lids go flying down them. You wouldn't catch me on them but the kids love it.

Brian - Twenty inches of snow is about twenty inches too many!  Stay inside with the warm cocoa!

Hi  Brian, love your  sense of humor. Here in Lake Ridge, especially where I am, most kids will head up to Springwoods Elementry School to with their snow tubes and saucers. Stay warm..

Brian, I have my childhood Flexible Flyer in the basement, and the snow is way too deep for it to work without some big dogs to pull it along!  The hot chocolate is looking pretty good right about now!
