bummer... tried taking the boys to skate at The Canal Park Ice Rink


got to The Canal Park Ice Rink and there was no ice rink...

there was nothing but sidewalk where the ice rink once "stood"

they had packed things up for the season
so... as I kicked the soccer ball with my older son I made a few calls
called the Georgetown Ice rink and there was some convoluted message that sounded like the last day was a week or so ago
then called the rink at the Sculpture Garden
the message was more clear... they too had closed for the season

there was no ice skating on the C&O Canal this year
there was no ice skating on the reflecting pool this year

we had a few trips to the local rinks this winter
guess if we want any more it will have to be indoor

Fort Dupont and Cabin John are good local options
Cabin John with a greater number of hours for Public Skate
