National Christmas Tree

We headed down to Washington, D.C. early this evening to see the National Christmas Tree.  It's something we've been wanting to do ever since we moved here, so we finally went and saw it today.

 You could hardly see the tree, for all the lights that were draped on it.  That's alright, though,  We got some nice pictures as the sun went down.

Honestly, we enjoyed watching the model trains more than looking at the tree.  They had CSX, Amtrak, and Thomas the tank engine layouts set up.  I think the girls could have watched those trains all night!

 Since we were right across the street from the White House, we went to check it out, too.

 It was a fun little outing and a great way to end Christmas day.
