Back in the ol’ college days, every Christmas season we would head towards downtown Marion to see the Walk of Lights. Every year, all of the lights were the same and in the same place. However, each year it was great to get all bundled up, cram into a car with a group of friends, and go see the favorites.
One of the ol’ college friends lives about 40 minutes away from me now. We both love Christmas and all of the festivities, so we planned this trip weeks in advance. We didn’t haul it up to Indiana, but we did find some local lights that filled the reminiscent gap.
We arrived at sunset, perused the old fashion candy shop, and headed to the end of the line to catch the train. After our ride, we were glad we got there when we did. The line had almost double. As we drove off, the line of cars was even more outrageous! At first, I thought we might have been a little over excited by arriving to a light show with the sun still partially in the sky. However, as we drove past car after car after car, it was pleasantly confirmed that there is no shame in being early.
Although it was hard to get a good photo opportunity on a moving train, I tried to make the best of it. Here are some of the highlights:
