Our visit to Maryland on 14/12/2014

This Sunday we went to Ice at Gaylord in Maryland. It was an igloo like structure with arctic like temperatures inside it. The whole place was filled with colorful and beautiful sculptures carved out of ice. At the entrance was display of  main theme exhibit Frosty the snowman.

The next display was that of cute rabbits and some other animals and then came a ice tunnel,  which felt like we were living something which was part of our imagination or something we saw only in our books. At the end of the tunnel was kids favorite part, ice slide. Looking at those ice slides not only kids but all adults lined up to enjoy sliding. Me and my wife went on it too, but kids who came with us went wild going on it again and again. Our hands and face were numb with unbearable cold inside. And were not able to talk too as we were tongue tied too. Though we were wearing winter gear like gloves, hats, jackets and thermals still we couldn't stand conditions inside. Inspite of that we continued to enjoy the place.

This great experience was possible because of my daughters friends and neighbors Shanti and Kiran who were very accommodative and kind to have taken us.murthy. We had our late lunch at that temple and we headed home, ending our memorable day.

 There was no space for so many us but still they made arrangements so that we can all go together. After ice at Gaylord they also took us to a very special shiv-vishnu temple. This temple has unique srichakra inscribed with vishnu on the front and shiv on the back of the one murthi. We had our lunch in the temple and headed home.
