Winter Wonderland in Gaylord

(http://www.bing.com/travel/content/search?q=Decked-Out+Hotels%3a+Gaylord+National+Resort%2c+Oxon+Hill%2c+Md.&FORM=TRSSPG)

I visited several times Gaylord, the huge hotel complex on Potomac border, across Alexandria. It was always an enjoyable experience. They know what it means to make it big, these guys! Well, if you ask me, the Gaylord in Texas (some place near Dallas) is even bigger, which should not come as a surprise as Texans don't know the meaning of just big.

Now, as Christmas is coming, Gaylord (the one from the Potomac) invited ice carvers from China. They work on 2 million pounds of ice for 30 days to construct a Nativity scene, storybook characters such as the Grinch, and a real two-story slide that children can scoot down (bing). I wish I were there now!
