We took Papaya to the National Mall today, the Ellipse portion, to see the National Christmas Tree.
It was a clear cold night in the low 40s, beautiful and not too crowded for a DC monument. The Tree - not as huge as one might expect but very pretty nonetheless. The model trains by local enthusiasts (the highlight of their year Adventure Dad suggested) were really neat at the star of the show in Papaya’s eyes. The 56 smaller trees - very nice but tiny (can you list what 56 trees are for?).
Afterwards a trip to Capital City Brew finished the night nicely. I adore their fresh pretzels and horseradish dip that come before you’ve ordered a thing - I must work on my own recipe one of these days.
