Saturday night marked the first of many things on my list to do here in Colorado. The Festival of Lights is our towns version of a Christmas parade, and literally ALL of Colorado Springs was there...the good, bad, and quite strange... Mary and I parked at the opposite end of town from where we wanted to go...oh well, nothing wrong with a little walking. Our plan was two-fold. Walk and see and take pictures of the parade and eventually make it to the other side of the street to Jose Muldoons..for some good mexican food and margaritas.
We walked up one side of Tejon, losing feeling in our faces at some point, and crossed the street cutting through the middle of the parade. Reminded me of when I was little and at Disneyland and we got caught on one side of the Light Parade and having to duck under the ropes and mom and dad yelling, "ruuunnnnn", good times. This time however, we are adults, running in heels.
We did make it to the restaurant, camera clicking along the way at the parade. We then spent a couple of hours eating chips and salsa, having a couple margaritas (really....it was only a couple), and sharing much needed laughter. Laughing until our faces hurt, which in and of itself, brought on more laughter later. I am sure we were quite a site.
The night ended with hot chocolate, and go figure........more laughter. It was a good night.
