Getting in the winter spirit? Enjoy art?  Why not combine the two at The National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden Ice Rink? 

There you can view the outdoor sculptures, while ice skating in the open air, at times even to music!

The National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden Ice Rink is free and open to the public, and located on the National Mall at 7th Street and Constitution Avenue NW. Monday- Thursday, the Gallery is open 10 a.m.- 9  p.m.; Friday and Saturday 10 a.m.-11 p.m.; and Sunday, 11:00 a.m.- 9:00 p.m.

When you’re finished, come on back the Guest House and warm up with some delicious hot cocoa. Enjoy!

Capital Segway Tours

September 23, 2011 – 10:14 pm

Instead of being stuck on a tour bus already full, you may consider the Segway where you will have your personal space and enjoyed the freedom to be outdoor.  The Segway tour is ideal for families with older children, adults looking for a fun alternative to walking.

Tours leave from 1350 I St. NW and it will cost you between $65 to $80.

The Capital Segway tour starts and ends with 10 minute training for riding around on the Segway, which is fun and easy to operate. During your tour, you will pass by Lafayette Park to the White House, down the Mall to the Capitol and past the National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of the American Indian, U.S. Botanic Garden, FBI, National Archives, National World War II Memorial and Washington Monument.

By the end of the tour, you will have seen the biggest sights on the Mall in a quarter of the time it would take to walk.

Other thing interesting:  Segway Tours also proposes French, Spanish and German tours!
