So often, we tend to forget how lucky we are to live where we live, and what we have easy access to. Last night, we decided to brave the frigid temperatures and head into DC to show the boys the National Christmas tree. I hadn't been downtown to see it in so many years, and I thought the boys are at the age now to really appreciate this sort of thing. And it did not disappoint. The tree is just so magnificent its beyond compare. With the White House and Washington Monument off to either side, you just can't help but feel the magic of it all.
There was a children's chorus performing Christmas songs, a tree for every state, model trains and the gigantic yule log burning.
But we also stumbled onto a big surprise... Santa and his elves were there at Santa's workshop!
If you live locally and want to go down and check it out, parking along Constitution Ave. opens up weeknights at 6:30 pm and we found good free parking right away. Another tip, pick the coldest night possible and it won't be as crowded. We waited all of five minutes to see Santa. Thanks to my friend over at Tatertown for the cool idea, I think we'll add this to our list of yearly holiday traditions! Its totally worth keeping your kids up past bedtime.
