national harbor

We decided to take a mini vacation and go to National Harbor. It's a new favorite place of mine. It's like a little city. We wanted to take Blake to see ICE at the Gaylord Convention Center. Our friends Orlando and Saida came with us and we had a fun time.

It was pretty cold, so this is how Bash stayed while we were out. Everyone thought he was so cute as evidenced by all the "Awww!"s we got walking around. But the sun was shining. And after being in 0 degrees for ICE, 40 degrees was WARM!





Orlando and Saida:





Blake got to ride the train. He REALLY wanted to be in the front, but someone grabbed that spot fast.



Pool time. I forgot my suit, or I would have gotten in with Bash.



The Christmas tree at night!



Some of the ICE sculptures. They were pretty amazing. And they had am ice slide that everyone went down on. It was FAST!



Other than me not having a jacket and going into 0 degrees with ballet flats and no socks and both Blake and I being sick, we had a great weekend.


They gave out these heavy blue parkas to wear, and yes, we took Bash in there. He was bundled and asleep and he had a parka covering him up.
