Art & Ice Skating

Today we went to the ice skating rink in the sculpture garden at the National Gallery of Art http://www.nga.gov/ginfo/skating.shtm ! We were supposed to meet up with the women's group from our church. But since we couldn't skate. We just hung out for a while and then went inside to take in some amazing art and warm air!! Yes, today was a sunny beautiful day. However, 29 degrees is still very cold, even in the sun!!
The pond in front of the Capitol is frozen solid. All the birds were out there standing on the ice. I didn't have the heart to tell them there's no fish in the pond. And if there were fish. They be more like fish sticks!

They are slowly taking down the stage from the inauguration. We walked to the capitol on Friday and there were still hundreds of folding chairs on the lawn. Friday was about 50 degrees and everyone was just happy to have a warm day. So, none of the workers were moving very fast. I don't blame them. We are supposed to have snow this coming week. We haven't had a snow yet this year. Hopefully, later this week I'll be posting snow day pics and lots of other pics from our recent travels.

It is impossible to be bored in DC, isn't it! I'm glad you like to get out and show your little sweetie a fun time. Looking forward to snow pictures.
