Trail of Lights

During the time we have lived here, we have heard about the infamous Trail of Lights. We've never seen the Trail of Lights during the holiday because the city was unable to afford to put the lights up all those years. Finally, this year they were able to put them up, so we could not miss them for who knows when we'd see them again. In order to keep costs down, the lights are only displayed for eight days so it's impossible to avoid a crowd, find parking, etc. We parked about a mile away and took the trusty double stroller with the scooter attachment. We managed pretty well until a tire went flat on the way back--in the dark, in the "woods" of Zilker Park. Yikes! But, we made the most of it or should I say Omar did since he was pushing the stroller, and we made it back. The lights were beautiful and incredible. The last time I saw lights similar to this scale was outside of College Station at Santa's Wonderland. The Trail of Lights was free however. Did I mention it was crowded? It took about an hour to get through it with masses of people moving through the trail. It reminded me of Mardi Gras. It was well worth it, and I recommend going at least once.
