Jones Beach holiday light show
Time again for our annual trek to Jones Beach for the holiday light show.
It's a fun way to spend an hour or two. You drive through a display of clever lights, stopping at the "holiday village" for a cup of hot cocoa, while listening to holiday music. This year Drew won a free pass to the show from a local radio station.
Here's the light tunnel at the start of the drive (NYCB is the bank that sponsors the show).
The sea creatures are happy to celebrate the holidays:
Trying to figure out what this thing is:
Santa does stunt riding!
Lady Liberty:
(Yeah, I know, a bit blurry.)
Easter Island is represented.
At the holiday village:
Yes, that's a wood-burning fire pit int the foreground. You can buy a s'mores kit if you're so inclined.
We went after Christmas, so Santa was no longer around, but the area where he greeted children was:
They even had a toy train setup.
Maybe I should have taken video of the train.
They had two 1980's-era video games and a pinball machine. Drew played Pacman.
I had a cup of peppermint hot cocoa (real whipped cream on top) and Drew got a hot dog. A portion of the proceeds from the snack bar are being donated to our local MADD.
As you leave the village and continue on the ride, you see candy canes.
Hanukkah is not forgotten:
And as you leave the show:
SWe enjoyed the display and plan to go back next year.

Wow. That took a lot of work to set up, I'm sure.
