11.29.09..."We met Clark Griswald's Match!!"

So, what a great thing to do on a beautiful night. ..go look at Christmas lights!
Alot of ooooooo-ing and aw-ing going on! You can't help but walk around with a HUGE smile on your face! Christmas lights just brighten up your-everything. So beautiful!!
Here in Hot Springs there is a beautiful HUGE garden that is decorated with MILLIONS and MILLIONS of lights!
You go over a lil' hill and BaM! More lights! The old-er people had golf carts!
So jealous...
But you walk along the path and it goes on and on.
You just admire all the hard work and pray that your not the one taking them down...
There were paths you walk along, but you just walk anywhere and everywhere!
The pond was decorated and just stunning. With swans and fish all lighted up. beautiful. :)


It took us at least 2 hours to walk through everything. We actually hurried along cuz they were closing and we wanted to see as much as possible...we shall return and really go slow and enjoy it. Think 2 hours were enough time, huh? Uh.no.

I Have never seen anything like this.
Clark Griswald.
Dude, you've got competition.

This is Amaz.ING!!
All Glass.
Stunning.
Alot of weddings take place here....so beautiful here.
So, after our fun trip to the Griswald's Paradise....He! He!
We headed to Chili's to top the night off with the 2 for $20.00....best part?
The Paradise Pie!!!!

So, I asked the Mr. to wait to eat it so I can get a pix...I hear clanging of the fork and a HUGE piece missing. I turned it around, so I could get a pix.
He was soooo busted!

The lights are great and I don't think 2 hours is enough considering all the work involved. In so far as the pie goes, I probably would have done the same thing. I have heard of the glass chapel but have never seen it--thanks for the picture.
