The Magical Nights of Lights at Lake Lanier Islands has been a yearly tradition for us ever since we started dating. We have made it to the lights ALMOST every single year over the past 10 Christmases that we have been together. Every year they seem to add new displays to make it even better than the year before. This year, they rerouted the driving course to expand the mileage. I'm guessing this was to make it seem even longer & even better...but it wasn't. You would think since they made it into a longer course they would add a whole lot more lights to make it bigger & brighter. Nope! It ended up being just a bunch of empty stretches of darkness instead. Some of my favorite things they have done every year were missing. It seemed as though they hadn't even finished putting everything up. Not to mention the price of the lights was almost DOUBLE what it has been the past years. I'm not sure what they were thinking this year in this horrible economy, but we tried to enjoy OUR LAST TIME EVER at the Magical Nights of Lights...
On our way...pre-disappointment.
This was one thing they added...a giant carousel. It was cool, but not worth the jacked-up price and quarter miles of darkness amidst the course.
One of my favorites over the years past...The Wizard of Oz.

Long time tradition: Will & his turkey leg; Me & my spiced apple cider
You will be missed...
