We had our annual work dinner last night at an Italian restaurant in South Philadelphia. Toward the end of the meal, my co-worker’s fiance asked us if we wanted to walk over to see some cool Christmas lights that are just down the block. They just moved into the area and knew about it. We thought, sure, why not? I mean, if it is only a short walk. Sam was getting tired, but she loves Christmas lights so she was up for it. Mark and I rarely go into the city, and certainly not into South Philly. If anything, we are more in the Center City area when we visit, so we had no idea where we were going. WOW WOW WOW!!! This was amazing! Apparently, this particular block is known for putting on quite the spectacle every year. I had no clue. It was absolutely worth the short walk! Boy, did Sam perk up fast!
The entire block of three story houses was lit from sidewalk to roof, with lights strung across the street, things on rooftops, people dressed up, it was insane!
This train was one of Sam’s favorite things.
We stopped for some photos, of course!
Sam was a little shy at first, but then quickly decided she needed photos with every single character.
What an amazing experience! Sam loved it, as you can imagine. I mean, who wouldn’t? She makes me laugh. There was a woman passing out candy canes and I didn’t pay much attention. After we walked by, Sam said, “That lady is nice.” I asked her why she thought that, and she said, “Because she said I am adorable! That I am so cute!” Well, yeah. 🙂
The Miracle on S. 13th Street. Who knew? Well, a lot of people probably. I will definitely be back!
