Dust off your old ice skates (or rent them) and take a spin around the rink—any of them. With many options in the area, we suggest you check out the winter wonderlands at Washington Harbour, the Sculpture Garden, or Reston Town Center. Sure, you’re just going around and around in circles, but it still makes for a merry afternoon or evening.
