Today was the last day of school before the winter break, but we decided to skip it and just have some fun instead. Nina’s class had a plan to watch the movie, Polar Express, in school today, so I gave her the choice of going to school or staying home and doing something fun, and she opted to play hooky. I was planning to take them downtown to see the National Christmas Tree and the other displays out on the Elipse, but a few minutes into our trip, it started raining. We didn’t have umbrellas or rain coats, so instead of going all the way into D.C. just to get wet, we exited off to head to the Reston Town Center.
The rain slowed to just a drizzle during most of the time we were there. The girls had been excited to see the National Christmas Tree, but the one at RTC was really big and nicely decorated, so they were happy there was a good tree there. They played around at the fountains by the tree, then we walked over to the ice rink and watched the people skating. It was a great people watching scene, and both girls really liked watching everyone skate.
To warm up and get out of the drizzle, we got some hot chocolate then headed back out to enjoy some more of the town center. I was glad Nina wanted to stay home today, and since we have lots of things going on between now and Christmas, it was fun to just spend some time relaxing and hanging out with my girls!
