My daughter and I recently traveled to NYC. She skated under the Christmas tree at The Rink in Rockefeller Center on this trip. I think Rockefeller is prettier at night, but we had Broadway shows every night. So, we went during the day. It was still fun, and it SNOWED! It really was magical! Here’s what we learned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
