In Downtown Sacramento along The Kay lies the wintery attraction of the public ice skating rink. Unlike most skating rinks people are accustomed too, this one isn’t that cold. It may not have been shorts worthy, but it was certainly more pleasant than snowpants, parka and looking like you’re right out of A Christmas Story. The ice is super cooled at the ground providing for an enjoyable experience without being bundled up.
If there wasn’t live music some evenings it featured a wonderful variety of music for all ages. From pop rock, classic rock and oldies; there is something for everyone. Don’t have skates! No problem, skate rental, gloves and socks (no joke) are offered and admission is only $8. Currently, it’s just past six o’clock the temperature in Sacramento is about 45F (7.2C). May not be parka weather, but a jacket of some sort may be a good idea.
L’aire SL4/Pres3
The Fairest Dancer, having grown up in the northern part of the U.S. was accustomed to colder temperatures. One favorite past time she had was ice skating. Sure it was similar to dancing on ice, but sometimes the lifting of spins and twirls high in the air was just as fun as the other dancing she did.
Arriving in Perry diCarto ’s convertible with the top up for a change, L’aire’s skates were sitting on the floor of the vehicle. The skate guards were on, despite not being as sharp as hockey stakes the Fairest didn’t want to damage upholstery nor nick the blades of the skates. She may not have been a professional skater, yet the Dancer didn’t want to take them in either. L’aire wore an outfit she didn’t think would come out of the closet again. It may have looked thin, but the top jacket with a tiny flash of teal was very warm, along with matching pants. All very form fitting, and for fun a teal skirt over the top. It wasn’t necessary, but L’aire did like a bit of flair in her skate.
Turning to Perry before getting out of the car, the Winter Fairest flashed a grin. "Wow, what a perfect day for this. No wind and a bit over cast. Hope the music is good too."
