We will be celebrating my birthday and DS's birthday, can't wait!! Hopefully the decorations will be up and ready. Is it to early to make a countdown calendar? 
Sherry, it was way too hot today! When I got to church this morning for Bible Study, a friend recommended I turn my car around so it was facing toward the shade instead of the open parking lot in the sun. Maybe I should have listened. Poor car was a sauna less than 2 hours later. I need to start looking for shorts!
I sure vote for the Winter Castle.
Meantime, a little later this evening, I will finally make my picture folder so it's ready for the start of this year's Christmas picture threads on here
Looks like we are in too...maybe we'll be there at the same time? Can't wait to explore DCA more!
Send some of that heat back east, please! It was nice and warm and sunny over the weekend, and now it's cold again! Spring needs to stay putOh really? Back for another holiday season at DLR!
I hope everything is back to its usual holiday version/format once November gets here, although I fear that the garland/Mickey-shaped wreaths will never be hung over Main Street again, if Paint the Night sticks around. Those might just be gone forever. But to have those gone, have the Winter Castle gone, and the holiday fireworks too -- all at the same time -- is just too much. Something has got to return. Even if it's only the Winter Castle that returns, it's better than nothing. There is nothing that can replace that glowing, shimmering light that beckons us all from afar, as we walk down Main Street.
It's definitely too hot for me today. It's funny because, right now, the weather forecast I check is saying that we are going to have temperatures in the upper 60s and a high percentage of rain from Thursday of this week to Thursday of next week. Some days have a 90% chance of rain. And yet, I would bet that by tomorrow there will only be one day with a high chance of rain, and then it will be 80 degrees and dry on every other day!
We are going for the rundisney weekend..I'm hopefully getting a spot for the 10K and dh will do the infinity gauntlet challenge, assuming we get spots next week. We'll probably leave the Wednesday after the races.
and then the flavor I made the mistake of trying which was a white mint ice cream with a ribbon of chocolate (ribbon was not too prominent, btw) and then the pieces of Nestle Crunch candy. For me this was also too crunch/chewy (I have jaw joint issues) so that was another disappointment that the candy wasn't more "flat" like the actual Nestle Crunch Candy Bar if that makes sense. Of course that is not Dreyers fault, just an FYI. What was awfully sneaky, IMO, was as I was tasting this ice cream the second time it occurred to me that this was tasting awfully to quote Sherry, "frozen toothpaste" familiar! 
I do wonder if it was indeed the peppermint wonderland with the two additions. Regardless, I did not like it. I get it at Pavilions. I do think I've shared this before but wanted to make up for the un wonderfulness of the above. ETA: Target's own Market Pantry Mint Cookies and Cream is better and cheaper than the above. Go try it! 
Made my countdown and all!
Nevermind, I found my answer very easily in post #1 - Thanks @Sherry E for an awesome resource of info
