We went to the Botanic Garden this last week with some friends to check out the model trains. On the way we walked by the Capital and admired the Capital Christmas tree. (Not to be confused with the National Christmas Tree) It was very pretty and decorated with hand crafted ornaments from Wyoming, where the tree came from as well.
It was cold that day and this is how Calder travels around DC these days. I asked him if he was freezing and he replied "No, just cold." So don't worry, I don't freeze our kid, I just keep him cold. Speaking of, he is not a fan of the cold. Usually if we go outsize to run errands or something and it is cold he asks to go home instead. If we're going somewhere cool he's willing to face the cold.
I would also like to mention that it is nowhere as cold as Chicago and for that I am thankful. Calder is too.
The botanic garden has amazing poinsettias, model trains and DC building replicas made from plant parts. I can't believe all of this was built using only food and plants. It was fun to get up close and try to guess what they used to create it.
A happier, warmer Calder.
Calder was so excited to get to see Percy, his favorite of the Thomas series trains. He waved and pointed every time he came by.
And as with everything else in DC (it seems) it was free. I really love it here.
