Trail of Tears is more like it...


Austin has this big light display called the Trail of Lights. It is a mile long running beside town lake. We have seen it several times on TV and driving by and we kept meaning to go, but the month was passing quickly (it is only open from Dec 1st to Christmas Eve.) So finally we decided we had to go, or we'd miss it.

So on the second to last day, we bundled up and headed out. We should have known from the start it was going to be miserable. For those of you who haven't noticed, we are still in shorts and tank tops. This winter has been more like a mild summer–in other words gorgeous. So we picked the only miserable day in December to attempt this outing.

It was cold, it was windy and seeing how it was closing in 48 hours, it was very crowded. So the trail of lights was more like me holding Jack and Brett holding AJ while we jogged to the finish line, the kids crying all the way. Needless to say, this was the only picture I got!

It was really pretty, what I saw of it as we hustled by!

Chelsea,

You should definitely try the trail of lights again next year. The night we went was absolutely beautiful! Although, our dinner took longer than planned and I think we were about the last people they let in! They turned off each tree just after we had seen it, so we kind of had to sprint, too. Did you get a chance to go across the street and spin under the big tree? Super fun, and even more dizzy.
