One of my favorite things about the holiday season is outdoor skating rinks. I've never been particularly good at skating but I can usually manage to stay upright and not crash into others. Santa Barbara was really never cold enough to have one so I was really excited to try one of the ones set up in DC this winter. Some friends and I got together and ended up going to the skating rink set up in the sculpture garden at the National Gallery of Art.
For non-skaters I think we all fared pretty well even if we weren't exactly graceful. It was a fun evening and we even saw someone propose on the ice! Pretty cute.

It's possible I may have stood right by the gate the entire time they were smoothing the ice just so I could be the first person on it. And if I did it was worth every second.
