Gaylord National - ICE -

 Every year, right around the holiday's, we drive the 4-wheel drive sled down to Washington, D.C.
We stay in the Gaylord National Resort and we visit
This years theme...The classic holiday story,
The Polar Express
10 scenes from the movie, brought to life with 2 million pounds of ice, created by 40 artisans from China.
Inside the exhibit, it is a cool 9 degrees.
These larger than you can believe ice sculptures, took 6 weeks to sculpt and create.

Polar Express Round Trip






This train, although unbelievable, is made entirely of ice.














Hot, Hot, Hot Chocolate






The End

Today's positive thought...
When I look back on this year, I'm proud of...
- the way I have cared for others -
