Friday night we headed downtown for San Antonio's tree lighting.
Lets just say its NOT a small town (like Danville tree lightening) tree lighting.
They had major streets closed, police and people everywhere.
We really had no idea what to expect. We hit MAJOR traffic getting
downtown and then had to fight the crowds to make the tree lightening.
All ads stated that it was from 6-7 pm. As we quickly walked to the square,
we noticed that we were going "against" the traffic. WHAT?
We thought there would be Christmas Carols BEFORE lightening the tree.
We could NOT help but laugh once we arrived.
We arrived at the square at 6:17 and it was OVER.
The tree was beautiful!
They had street vendors selling glow lights, cotton candy and "tourists" treasures.
In the background Christmas music was playing... in SPANISH!
AND a mariachi band.
Now this was NOT was we expected.
We could not help but laugh!
It was fun just not what we anticpated!
We were glad it was cold enough to wear a jacket.
(sorry all you people that got snow around Thanksgiving. We hit 81)

Finding the Perfect tree

You DON'T... unless we wanted to drive a couple/few hours
