The Nutcracker

 We recently traveled to Jacksonville with some friends of ours to see the Florida Ballet's production of The Nutcracker.  We enjoyed the show.  This was our first experience with seeing a ballet, and it was a successful one.

 Since we were in Jacksonville anyway, we decided to do the Jax Illuminations drive-through Christmas light show.  This is a mile of lights that are timed to music.  It wasn't terribly expensive, and they gave you free hot chocolate to enjoy as you drove through.  The kids really enjoyed this.


 Seeing the Jacksonville lights just put us in the mood for more lights.  So, on the way home we detoured to Hortense to view the Lewis family light show.  This family has a major set-up at their house that they open to the public for free.  This placed was packed!  I don't think that we could have fit another thing into our day, and we were exhausted when we got back to the house.
