Post Christmas: Shrek the Halls

On Friday we went to Ice! at the Gaylord Hotel in the National Harbor. The theme this year was Shrek the Halls. In order to keep the ice, well ice, they keep the place at around 12 degrees F. They hand out huge blue coats to put over top of the coats you are already wearing.

Before you go in, they show a movie about how the Ice! show came about. Someone visited China where they have a snow and ice show each year and brought the idea back to the states. It is amazing to think of the hours the carvers spent making each detail. EVERYTHING was made out of ice!
