Alabama Sleigh Ride

Well, we did it - we went on the holiday sleigh ride through the park in Orange Beach.

And we stayed true to my thought mentioned in the Friday Five and brought along hot chocolate with a little something extra in it.

Rich & Rare whiskey you ask?
Well...it's the cheapest of course :)

I broke out my winter jacket for the first since I've been here - kind of exciting.

We were both glad that we ended up going.  We showed up and there were cars everywhere and a long line to get on the 'sleigh'...pretty impressive for it being the first year of the event.

Also, I was mistaken...we weren't pulled by tractors, but instead by good ol' trucks.

We were only on the road for a little bit of time and then we hit the trail with the Christmas displays.

It was hard to get good pictures since it was dark, we didn't have a tripod with us, and everyone/everything was moving...which explains the lack of photos to share.

We saw light displays, carolers, mini plays/performances, a little fake snow, Santa Claus, Rudolph, AND then free hot chocolate and cookies were handed out to everyone along the route.

and to leave you with a pic showing our excitement before the sleigh ride...
