We decided to stay at the Gaylord National for our annivesary this year. We only stayed one night, as Chrissy is only home for 2 weeks. We had a great time, though. This is the Tree of Light, see the sign below to know all about it!
The atrium as seen from the bottom floor. So pretty! It seems a lot smaller than the one in Orlando, but it was just as pretty. Everything was all decorated for Christmas, of course.
This is when we first arrived and had already been to our room. We were heading over to the Ice Pavillion.
The preview talk and movie.
They gave us these huge parkas to wear while going through the display.
The slides made of ice...they wouldn't allow me to use the slide, though, as they said my heels were too high and they wouldn't allow stocking feet either! Next time...comfy shoes!
These ice sculptures were huge...so were the parkas!!
haha We look so big! LOL
They had this as the last display and had a recording giving the Christmas story!
Outside the Ice Pavillion and looking toward our hotel.
We took a walk around the Harbor area after seeing the ice. This tree was huge and changed colors in time to Christmas music being played over the loudspeaker.
Huge sculpture in the sand.
When checking in, I mentioned it was our 26th anniversary. They upgraded us at no charge and then this waiting for us when we got back to our room later that night. Awesome!!
We watched one of the Christmas shows..I believe this was the lighting of the tree...and it snowed inside!
Part of the show
The tree...all lit up.
These curtains of light were called "the Northern Lights".

The view from our balcony.
Theron and me on our balcony!
We had a wonderful 2 days spending time together and celebrating our anniversary. We left MD late Thursday morning and then meandered home...shopping, eating, and laughing all the way home.It was a GREAT anniversary and I'm so thankful for my sweet husband.
Theron surprised me on the night of the 20th and brought this and some flowers home for me to "kick off" our anniversary celebration. He's very thoughtful!
YUM!
