Back in North Carolina, Patty and I got out for a drive after a very good dinner at Mayflower Seafood, and a couple of seasonal coffees at Starbucks. We went to see some of the sights of the season in the neighborhoods. There were a number of great houses on Union Street in Concord, NC and the one at left is my very favorite. Not quite as dramatic or as bright as the Tacky Light Houses of Richmond, but nonetheless a joy to see. Many of the old houses on Union Street do a great job of lighting up for the Christmas season, and have over the years loved to see this one each year, and look forward to riding by it.
In Kiser Woods in Concord, I liked this tree and the way it was done. We rolled though a lot of the local neighborhoods, as a light rain (unlike the snow of the Tacky Light Tour) fell later in the drive, so what you see are rain drops rather than snow. For the record we did get a dusting of snow on December 12, but nothing like the snow which fell in Richmond Sunday night/Monday Morning (around December 13). On this night though, it was just a very light rain. There were a lot of really pretty sights and bright lights. I also enjoyed a few of the light shows set to music, saw a couple of those while we were exploring the area in the car.
Photo does not actually do this house justice, it has some very nice LED lights, and the back of the house is really remarkable. Saw it as we went by and pulled into the subdivision to check it out. It was a short weekend, and some more places remain to be seen in my next visit to Carolina including McAdenville, NC (which is always remarkable) and also the new light display at Concord Motor Speedway (which is new for this year). Nice though to enjoy the sights of the season with my lovely lady by my side and Christmas music playing on the radio. I look forward to my next visit to North Carolina, and sharing some more photos with you all.
