Preparing for the Holidays

Posted in Family, Holidays, and Thoughts

Last night, we headed over to the Botanical Gardens for their members only sneak preview of the Garden of Lights display. As we drove up to the gardens, we were greeted by thousands of beautiful Christmas lights twinkling in the still, cool night. They asked us to tune our radio to the Christmas music playing on their set station. We began to drive through the tunnel of lights looking at the different displays. After a couple of minutes, we pull up to the snack station. We are given our choice of hot chocolate or coffee and donuts. A few feet…
