After several years of being AWOL the trail of lights is BACK!! We tried a new strategy this year and got our parking pass online early. We were there before dark to enjoy the Christmas tree and beat the crowd.
Once it was completely dark we started our hike down the trail. The entrance is my favorite part.
Lots of the displays have been around for YEARS - some probably since I was a kid when you used to drive through the trail of lights.
There was a spot for you to take a picture with the Austin skyline in the background. JD can't just stand in a picture and smile he has to make a silly pose.
I liked this display sponsored by our favorite Mexican restaurant. If you aren't from Texas you may not be familiar with the Jackalope. It is in the same species of animal as the unicorn - pretend.
Being Austin, you have to have a free speech zone. JD stood in front of this sign and started, "I have a dream . . ." It was a proud moment for his social studies teacher mother!
