The Lights of Christmas

We found out that The Lights of Christmas at Warm Beach

in Stanwood (about 45 minutes north)
had a 'pay what you can' night!
We picked up sandwiches on the way,
and met Sheldon after work at the Tulalip Tribes
(about 20 minutes from Warm Beach).

Although it was somewhat rainy and muddy when we first arrived at 5:30,

the rain didn't last long.

We spent 2 hours enjoying our first visit to the largest light display in the Pacific Northwest!

The Lights of Christmas features over one million Christmas lights displayed on

over 15 acres at Warm Beach Camp.

We also enjoyed some live music entertainment, the Polar Express Train, a ride on a pony,
outdoor warming fires, and some nativity animals.

had been hoping to find a display this Christmas season!

We scored!)
