Luminescent Good Cheer

We bundled up and ventured out in the cold last night to partake in the USO-sponsored Military Appreciation Night at "Zoolights" at the Washington National Zoo.

The event description promised free admission, free hot chocolate, free cookies, discounted parking, light shows set to music, pictures with Panda Claws and more than 500,000 environmentally-friendly LED lights and all we had to do is show up . . . who could pass that up?!?

Although it was much smaller in scale than the Zoolights display we're fond of at the OREGON Zoo, this Zoolights was worth the trip.



Owen wished he could have seen more REAL animals, but the illuminated ones were pretty cute. 



Our first ever picture with a "Panda Claws."


The musical light show set to classical favorites was quite amazing.


It was an evening full of light, beauty, and joyful good cheer.  It doesn't get much better than that!



We have a few more Christmas-y events planned, so stay tuned for more posts on the lights, sights and sounds of the holiday season East Coast style!
