Lights

We took Flat Brandon out for a drive to check out the Christmas lights. Our neighbors have the best display, I'm sure you can see their house from outer space!! No way Santa can miss them!

The Grand Illumination

Every year a few weeks before Christmas, Colonial Williamsburg has an event called the Grand Illumination. It kicks off the holiday season here. They set off a big fireworks display and hundreds of people show up to watch.

So last Sunday we took our chairs and walked out to a good spot to wait, in the cold, for the fireworks to start. Mac, Valerie, Flat Brandon and me.

Pretty colors...

If you click on the pic below you can see the Governor's Palace in the background.

It lasted about 20 minutes, but here's a clip that's just over 1 minute long. Awesome!
