Christmas at the Domes

After a full week back in school, Christmas vacation is seeming like a little bit of a distant memory. I'm so glad a new weekend is here!

One Monday over break, we took the girls to the Domes. We try to go the Domes every time the theme of the Show Dome is changed. Typically the Show Dome changes four times a year, and we have definitely missed some, but we try not to miss the Domes decorated for Christmas.
 These photos were taken in the Tropical Dome and the Arid Dome. It's always surprising when we visit in December and just a few steps into the hallway we can feel the stickiness of the tropical air and the smell of the flowers, then across the hall is the dry, desert dome. All the while, it's freezing and snowy outside.


 The Show Dome decorated for Christmas was so pretty.


 The girls picked out their favorite ornaments on the silver and white decorated tree.


 I loved the glittery poinsettias.


 And these shiny snowflakes hanging side by side.


 


 The pretty castle entrance.


 By the monochrome tree.


 By the more colorful childlike tree covered in candy canes, Christmas cookies, and cupcakes.















Since we went on a Monday, which is free for county residents, it was very crowded but definitely a fun Christmas vacation "field trip"!
