Every year the Gaylord Hotel at National Harbor brings in tons of ice for their Christmas ice spectacular ... think more ice hotel than ice dancing. Alex and I headed across the river and lined up with all the families and their children (the two of us have the habit of being outside the "normal" age range for most adventures we go on).
This year's theme was 'Twas the Night Before Christmas so each room had a couple lines from the story and corresponding ice sculptures.
Group shot to prove we were both there.
It is too bad you could not see the crazy blue jackets we were given.
The big kids even got to act like little kids by going down the slides.
There was an insane Santa and reindeer sculpture.
And before you know it, we were at the end.
And before you know it, we were at the end.
Next stop on the Christmas tour: trip to US Botanical Gardens with Dan. While their holiday train set up has nothing on the display at the Bronx Botanical Gardens, all of the structures here are made from branches, leaves, bark, etc from all the USBG plants. It was also nice to get out of the cold and rainy weather. I completely forgot to take any pictures so here one stolen from the interwebs.
Now it would to be a true holiday weekend if there was not at least one holiday party attend so we wrapped the evening at Sharon's for Cookies & Cocktails.
