Thanksgiving Break, 2012 - Part 2









On Saturday morning we went to my parents cabin briefly in order to drop off some lumber.  The northwoods look pretty even in November.  On Saturday night, after a good dinner at Happy Joe's Pizza in Green Bay, Karen and I went to the Green Bay Botanical Garden's Garden of Lights.  Our expectations were exceeded - the lights were nice!  Although the displays were not as extensive as the Festival of Lights in East Peoria, you could actually walk the route rather than drive through the park in a car.  There were no single large lit objects like in East Peoria (they were not parade floats), but there were "scenes" made of many smaller items.  We did a horse-drawn wagon ride, too, which was OK, but the drivers seat was so high it obstructed the forward view (we walked the chilly route later).  The main building had hot cocoa and munchies, and a nice train display. I was amused that the paper wasp nests were used to adorn the indoor tree. This morning we woke up to 1.75 inches of pretty snow at my parents house.  Traveling south, the snow petered out before we got to Oshkosh.
