ICE!

These past few weeks have been FULL. Full of work, school, ice, illness (oh and the holidays!?)...it's time for a much needed winter break! But even among the chaos there have been really wonderful moments like this past Friday when my sweet husband treated me to a fantastic early birthday date! We went out to the Gaylord to see the ICE! Exhibit and it definitely did not disappoint. I was wary at first hearing that the conference room the exhibit is in would be a chilly 8 degrees... but it ended up being one of the coolest experiences (pun completely and totally intended)! I would love to make this a tradition or at least add it to the list of things to do during this holiday season even if we don't make it every year.

All of the sculptures are made completely out of ice (aside from some slight embellishments) - even the path ways! The large exhibit which included slides for the kiddos was Nutcracker themed. There was a smaller exhibit that was themed around Christmas in New York and then it all ended with a beautiful Nativity.
