Christmas in DC

 

A couple of highlights of Christmas in Obamaland are the Capitol Christmas Tree, which I had a little fun with camera-wise, and a fabulous model train display at the US Botanical Garden—a layout any kid would just die for at home.  The dark lighting was a challenge for my smartphone camera, but you get the idea.  Ice skating at a new rink in Georgetown had Kris almost leaping over the barrier to give it a try.  Dry air made for some interesting contrails overhead.  The taxi driver wasn't so sure at first when we jammed out Christmas tree in her trunk, but 'twas the holidays, whatch gonna do?
