In The Spirit

Every year in Virginia Beach, the city spends god knows how much money lighting up the oceanfront for the Holiday season. Every light post at the beach has nautical themed lights hanging on them and boardwalk is decked out for the annual “Holiday Lights at the Beach!” There are countless, huge light displays on either side of the boardwalk, from 1st Street all the way to 30th Street and they open up the boardwalk for everyone to drive their cars on. They give each car a Christmas CD or tape to listen to while driving and they sell hot chocolate and cookies at the beginning. It is a nice way to get into the Christmas spirit. Dena and I took the kids for the opening weekend on Sunday night. I took a few pictures to share with you. Enjoy.

HELP me this is the last post that I can see that you typed!!!!!!! I just know that I am missing something!!!! :gulp:
Posted by lady on 2005-11-28 22:58:11 Great pics! I would love to live near a place with a boardwalk on the shore... sigh. Your kids look adorable, punked out & all...
Posted by Marie on 2005-11-28 15:16:15 wow! how very cool! we don't have anything like that here. Here, the only place to see big christmas decorations is at the mall, lol. Actually, if you're into driving around the island, there are some neighborhoods that really get into it and you can find house upon house decorated with the desire of out doing the next. It's really great. Thanks for sharing the awesome pics.
Posted by t~ on 2005-11-28 03:40:55 My hubby is from VB and when I told him about your blog entry, he told me how pretty the display is every year. I wish I could see it in person!
Posted by Daisyhead on 2005-11-27 22:07:47 Cool slideshow! I like the Rock Fish one. It all looks fun to me - I always loved going to see the lights when I was little. I wonder when I will get to take Faith. I'm guessing I'll have to wait until the carseat protest ends.
Posted by Holli on 2005-11-27 19:25:17 Hope you're having a great Thanksgiving!!
Posted by tj on 2005-11-27 02:06:37 We have something like that in Jersey but you have to pay for it - I think its $12 a car. Princess is too young to appreciate it and I can think of lots of things I would rather spend $12 on than hearing her scream in the backseat that she wants to go home. But I sure am glad you guys had fun - it looks so purty!
Posted by True Jersey Girl on 2005-11-27 00:15:52 Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! XOXOX
Posted by Atomic Bombshell on 2005-11-25 01:27:10 HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!! :-)
Posted by Nadine on 2005-11-24 09:32:48 Sweet, serious eye candy there Misty. You guys have a nice Thanxgiving. Cheers.
Posted by Curator on 2005-11-23 16:01:05 I bet these are great in person!
Posted by Lou on 2005-11-23 13:23:36 That looks like so much fun:) Hope you have a great Turkey Day!!
Posted by MommaK on 2005-11-23 09:05:51 That's really cool. Especially getting to drive on the boardwalk.
Posted by Mayberry on 2005-11-22 21:22:20 Those are really good for night pictures. It looks like fun.
Posted by Jen on 2005-11-22 21:11:12 what a great idea. there is a little town in our area that does that sort of thing too, they have bus tours to take you through, so pretty.
Posted by better safe than sorry on 2005-11-22 17:56:34 How pretty! I wish it would cool off here so I could get in the spirit!
Posted by Fionna on 2005-11-22 17:35:17 WOW is right, that's an amazing show. Over here, they go berserk at Griffith Park, I think it's about 5 miles of this stuff that you can drive through and they blast Christmas carols over speakers positioned every 100 ft or so. I love it! :-)
Posted by tj on 2005-11-22 14:47:04 Ok, now I'm really homesick!
Posted by Michel on 2005-11-22 14:37:11 OMG, did they love it? My parents took my brother and I to something similar every year, and the night before we went, I couldn't sleep because I was so excited. I love Christmas! :)
Posted by some girl on 2005-11-22 13:55:51 Hey, that's pretty damn cool!
Posted by chatty on 2005-11-22 13:20:12 They do the same thing by me! :lol: http://www.holidaylightspectacular.com/main.html
Posted by Ruby on 2005-11-22 12:09:37 THey turned out nice! Really nice!

you can make these crescent roll dough, cream cheese bars with pie filling or just simply the cream cheese mixture with some choc chips!

Get rid of ants almost overnight with this solution!! Pinning just in case.
