More RVA CHristmas Lights (December 11-13, 2017)

 Got out a little bit for some sort trips to see some of the amazing light displays in Richmond. Got out a bit after work which considering that the week was filled with 12 hour  working days was pretty good  This one is near my house and just a short drive up the road . It is a nice place to visit and has a lot of things going on in the yard. I enjoy seeing this every year 

 Made a short visit to the James Center in downtown Richmond. It is the offical City display and enjoy seeing all the lit reindeer, the Christmas tree and the buildings lined out with white. While that was cool though (as was the model train display in one of the buildings which was up and running) carriage rides are also a part of the Christmas season and thought I would get a photo of one of the teams here. 

Finally made a drive to Wendhurst Avenue for a visit to this remarkable house. According to a sign there there are some 170,451 lights and 1,326 homemade decorations in this yard. It is just a remarkable thing to see. This house won the ABC Great Christmas Light Fight (which gave them a trophy and $50,000) on December 12, 2016. No doubt as this made a long work day very remarkable at the end.
