Ice Skating at the Sculpture Garden

Leigh and I were anxious to get back home for our vacation from our vacation, as well call it, or time to relax before everything goes full speed again, so I changed our tickets to come home on the 30th. So the morning of our monthly celebration began REALLY early. We flew into Washington Dulles from Tampa. My car was dropped off by a friend of a friend (they were having a baby that morning... another story). We drove down into downtown DC to spend the afternoon and evening together. It was still rather cold, but we walked around the mall and stopped to see the White House Museum. Since we want to see everything there is in DC before we leave, I thought it was just as good a place as any. Afterward I took Leigh to the Jefferson Memorial for her first time. On the way home we stopped by the skating rink that was in the sculpture garden (that we were not aware of before that point). It was quite romantic and then we finished the day by returning home and sharing a cup of hot chocolate.
