Growing Up Barr: ICE ICE Baby!

NO, not Vanilla Ice but ICE the Grinch Who Stole Christmas exhibit that was featured at the National Harbor Gaylord Resort. The O'bannion's and The Barr's piled into two cars and headed over to Maryland for one cool adventure! Hadley and Liam stayed at home with Nana since it was 9 degrees my friends... that's right 9 DEGREES. It had to be that cold in order to keep the ice sculptures in tact but, it was ok since we all were given parkas to wear. The coolest part was at the very end you get to go down a slide made out of real ice. Daddy couldn't go with me so I had to go down by myself and wouldn't you know, I got stuck! It's ok though because they sent in the reinforcements to help guide me down the slide and once I made it to the end, everyone cheered and clapped :) Hooray for me!!!! Here's is a brief description of what the ICE at the Gaylord is all about.

What is Gaylord National’s ICE!?

At the Gaylord National Resort at National Harbor, visitors step inside a winter wonderland created entirely of 5,000 BLOCKS of ice weighing 2 MILLION POUNDS! hand-sculpted by 40 international artisans and kept at a chilling nine degrees Fahrenheit. Produced exclusively for Gaylord Hotels, the attraction is fully interactive, allowing guests to roam inside, around and on-top of holiday scenes. The amazing walk-through attraction will feature famous scenes from the Dr. Seuss classic storybook carved completely out of ice. ICE! will recreate these famous scenes, and more:

The Grinch’s frozen lair
Christmas Eve in Who-ville
The Grinch creating his “ramshackle” sleigh, complete with “reindeer” Max
Mount Crumpit – where visitors can climb to the mountaintop and zip down ice slides to Who-ville
The Grinch stealing Christmas from the Who houses
Christmas morning in Who-ville and the famous Roast-Beast Feast!
