ICE at Gaylord National Resort ~ 2016

Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
The story of how Santa Claus evolved, 
and the hows and whys
he started giving toys to good little boys and girls.
This walk through holiday attraction, kept at a "cool 9 degrees"
features two million pounds of hand carved ice sculptures,
5 ice slides and 7 individual rooms depicting the story of
Santa Claus is Comin' to Town.

 Hold onto your "santa caps" ladies and gents, this display is amazing!
















It is hard to believe this is all ice, it is both amazing and beautiful.
They lend out those blue parka's for peeps to wear as they walk through.
Everyone complains about the temperature,
not me, I love it!!
More pictures tomorrow, but you should go,
and see it for yourself!!

in Washington, D.C.

    Wow, I would love to go see this myself. What awesome photos and unbelievable that they are ice sculptures. The creativity is just spectacular. I love those nice warm blue coats you have on. I love that they have these to keep their guests warm and cozy. You two are always adorable. Blessings and hugs!

    Aw, Debbie, I was toying with the idea of taking a bus tour to see Mt. Vernon and also this ice display... and I turned it down. Shame on me.
