The weekend has come for our favorite place to close for the season...The Sculpture Garden Ice Rink, outside at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. We love to go there at night to skate, especially on Christmas Eve, but other times too. We went while it was still daylight yesterday and it turned dark while we were there. Ahhh, the twinkle lights, the trees all around, the shiny fresh ice reflecting the lights, the crisp air, the people, and the music...kind of a waltzing type music perfect for ice skating.
We had such a good evening skating and taking in the beauty that makes the city so magical. The rink is directly across the street from the National Archives building, a grand building which is lit beautifully at night. The cherry blossoms are already in bloom, but the rest of the trees and bushes are bare still. Such a wonderful mix of winter and spring all at the same time!
About 5 o'clock pm...
My little guy skating his heart out...
Waiting patiently for the zamboni to smooth the ice...6 o'clock pm...
Dusk is setting in...
Farewell until November...
