Friday Night Lights

Jason and I went to see all of the fun lights in DC. He finished his finals on Wednesday night and has been recovering since. We had so much fun actually getting to spend time together.

The Capitol at night.

The Capitol Christmas tree from Montana stands 78 feet tall.

The Capitol Christmas Tree and the Washington Monument on the right.

Some Christmas trees by the Botanical gardens, one of the Smithsonian museums. There are pretty wreaths on the building too.

The National Christmas tree with the White House on the left. The White House looked so nice with a beautiful fountain going in the gardens and wreaths hanging on it.

Here we are at the National Christmas tree. It is about 40 feet tall.

Little did we know that this tree is permanent and grows here on the Eclipse. There is a plaque in the grass that apparently we have missed on our visits to DC. Many of you have probably already seen the tree and maybe didn't know it either.

There were multiple trains circling the tree as well as little villages at several places next to it like this one. They had a building called Santa's Workshop. They had people dressed up as elves and Santa. You could take your kids to his workshop and let them sit on Santa's lap. It was really cute, but we didn't take a picture of it.
