Driving during Christmas

This weekend I attempted to travel to see the trail of lights. I have never been and this year I decided I wanted to go.

We travelled down towards Zlker Park and that's when it all hit the fan. Traffic was crazy. they had made the road one way and you couldn't even drive past Zilker if you had wanted to. There were people all along the roads walking with cold winter coats and boots. You could see the steam coming off of their breath.

After seeing the people all bundled in coats, and noticing I was in sockless shoes and had a sweat shirt I knew tonight was not the night i was going to get to see the lights.

We still drove down towards the lights in hope that there could be one close spot but we had no such luck. So the lesson learned after this was wear layers and socks, and be prepared to walk a distance to see the lights.

Maybe next time I attempt to go I will have better luck and get to wittiness these lights I have heard about for the past four years.
