Winter Wonderland here we come....

Last night , as promised by my loving husband, we went to downtown Nashville to see some lights. We went to Opry Mills and found out that the ICE Museum is open already. We parked our car and headed there and had a total blast. Its worth it, it's worth it paying that much!!! It wasnt really part of our plan but we're glad we went and enjoy the activity. We also went to the " Gaylord Opryland" Its a hotel ,huge hotel with lots of stuff to do. We didnt know it was that big till last night. Sterling was so amazed and astonished and so was I.
You can actually spend a whole day just walking and admiring the things you can see there. Such as big Christmas tree and river with real boats for tours. As we toured around the area we came across with different cute stuff ...like this cloth-made camel.We also get to watched a "Water Fountain Show". It was fantastic!!!
There were also falls and ponds all around . We really enjoyed taking pictures because the place is truly a wonderland for us. We're glad we went there during night time because the lights made it more appealing and projected the Yuletide season the best.
For clarification, the "Ice Show" is located not far from the Gaylord Opryland so we just walked there and we found it very beneficial for us , especially for me since I really need to have some walking. And I think the baby likes it...he..he..We went to the gift shop as we exit the show and Sterling got me some hot choco coz Im freezing cold...hhmnn yummy ..its my favorite.
What we admired the most is this....the "Nativity Ice" sculpture. Its really beautiful. We stared at it for like 10 minutes and took a lot of pictures to send out to both of our family. Though its freeezin cold, we stayed there for quite a while. I think its like 10-12 degrees there. By the way all you see here are all ice even the colored ones. It was really neat !!!.
These sculpture were all brilliantly done. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The thing is when I got inside the house..its not as much as cold anymore.
We also enjoyed the slides that they have there and got to see Sterling play like a kid again. He's really cute when he gets so excited about things. He kept on saying that he is so excited to see and play with our baby. Oh one more thing , even the chair we sat on is made of ice. Cool huh??
