More Days Off from School?

We've already had two days off and now we have two more days off next week due to teacher work days. What will you do for the next four days to not get cabin fever?

Fear not, there is plenty to do.

Check out Frying Pan Park's 50th Anniversary Celebration this Saturday from noon - 3pm.
Activities will include a preview of coming events, wagon rides, children's party games, hot cocoa, birthday cake, and s'mores at an outdoor warming fire.

This weekend is also Pentagon Row's Ice Skating Gala in Arlington.
From 7-9pm there will be A performance by fools and horses, specials and giveaways, An Ice Princess, Magicians, Jugglers, Stilt Walkers, a Photo Boot and plenty of Refreshments. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Fees for ice skating still apply.

And what about Monday and Tuesday of next week?
Take the family for a fun trip around the ice rink. Check out an updated listing of local ice skating rinks.
On Monday afternoon you can also check out Groovy Nate at the St. Elmo's Coffee Club in Alexandria. He'll also be at the George Mason Library in Annandale on Tuesday evening from 7-8pm. Have Fun with music, puppetry, games, creative play, and comedy! Donations are requested for the Coffee Club event.

The McLean Community Center is offering Teacher Workday trips for teens 5th - 8th grade. The center is open 8am - 6pm for these events. Please register on their website.

Also Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center in Manassas has a Teacher Workday Camp on Tuesday, Feb. 1, from 8:30a - 4:30pm. Campers will participate in sports, crafts and swimming activities on their day off from school. Registration is required.

Whatever you do, enjoy this time with your family. Sometimes, we need to be reminded to slow down and spend some quality time together.
