Having grown up in the South, I've spent more time immersed in water than I have standing on top of it. But I love to ice skate when I have the chance—especially at an outdoor rink on or near the coast. My most recent ice adventure took me to the Sculpture Garden Rink in Washington D.C. where $10 bought me two hours of frozen bliss and borrowed skates. I did a little research and came up with some other coastal cities with outdoor rinks. Here are some you might enjoy. • Washington D.C.: National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden Ice-skating Rink • Chicago, IL: McCormick Tribune Ice Rink at Millennium Park • Toronto, Canada: The Natrel Rink at the Harbourfront Centre • New York City: The Pond at Bryant Park • San Francisco: The Holiday Ice Rink at Embarcadero Center • Newport, RI: The Sovereign Bank Family Skating Center • Los Angeles: Pershing Square Downtown on Ice • Jersey City, NJ: Newport Skates • Boston, MA: Boston Common Frog Pond
