It was a round trip of four hours so it was a little far but our other option was hanging around the house to unpack more boxes. The first two hours of the trip went smoothly, then we got within 6 miles of Koziar's and came to a DEAD stop. It's on a two lane road, in the middle of no where PA, so options of detouring were very limited. We started taking bets on how long it would take to go six miles. After passing our predictions on the clock three times we finally arrived in the parking lot at 8pm, six miles and two hours later we saw the "LIGHT". I had planned on us leaving Koziar's, full of glow, at 8pm. Not arriving at 8pm!
Bundled up, and trying to get back in the Christmas spirit, to the gate we headed. Only to get there and stand in line for 15 minutes to purchase tickets, and then another 15 minutes to wait for the restroom. Finally, at 8:30pm we were able to enjoy what we had come to see...LIGHTS, LIGHTS, AND MORE BRIGHT LIGHTS. But wait, it doesn't end with a warm glow but rather a wet soaker. By 9:30pm, the sky opened up while we were in the middle of the village and any last ounce of fun was washed away. There is nothing enjoyable about pouring rain and 30 degree temperatures. Especially, when we were all fighting colds and Carrington an ear infection.
You know the end of Griswold's Christmas, where Santa is flying off after the sewer explodes, and they all start singing the National Anthem, and it just seems so right. That's kinda how it was, nothing was right but it was. Merry Christmas!
