So even though it was a blizzard, we decided to brave the Moscow traffic and weather and drive down to Red Square with the kids. It took almost two hours, but we made it. The kids didn't last too long in the cold. But they were good sports.
Pink sisters in the midst of all this red!
Mommy and Ty-Ty all bundled up in the storm.
The back side of St. Basil's. It's really just a giant parking lot.
Walking across the Moscow River in the storm. We could barely see, but Rob and I navigated our way through the streets to visit the Tretyakovsky Gallery. We went to the one with Russian art, which wasn't quite as appealing as the newer Tretyakovsky, but still very interesting and a nice break from the cold and snow.
I just had to take this picture of Moscow traffic. I have never seen such terrible traffic in my life. This is something that wasn't a big problem back in 1992 or 1995, for that matter. But apparently, lots of people now have cars, but they haven't created more parking spaces. So most people just park anywhere along the streets without any consequence. This ends up blocking traffic. Plus, nobody follows the rules, which ends up creating even further traffic hazards. My dad is a brave soul to navigate through this traffic everyday. It took us about 2 hours to get anywhere in Moscow. Kashmar! (What a nightmare!)
