The day after Thanksgiving, we went to the Gaylord National Resort at National Harbor. We had never been down there before and it is awesome. The hotel is beautiful and it was all decorated for the holidays. We went with the Baumgartners who have gone a few years in a row now, so we just followed their lead. On Friday, we did the ICE show which is a display of massive colored ice sculptures in the Shrek theme, complete with slides made out of ice! It is 9 degrees inside this tent-like structure and a very unique experience. Then we had an awesome dinner and swam in the hotel pool. Well, the guys swam with the kids while Michelle and I stayed dry. That night we gathered in the atrium area to see the fountain light show that they do during the holidays set to music. After the music ended and we never saw the fountains, we found out there was a broken pipe. Well this, combined with the fact that the Baumgartners had a mix up with their room, prompted Michelle to call and work some magic. She scored free tickets to the Shrek character breakfast for all 8 of us the next morning! It was really cute with green "swamp juice", Shrek waffles, tons of food and character greetings with Shrek, Fiona, and Puss in Boots.
My camera wasn't charged (ugh) on Friday so I only got pictures on Saturday at the breakfast.
