Lights under Louisville

Have you ever heard of Lights under Louisville? 

It is truly spectacular! 

In Louisville, there is a mega cavern underground. 

It stretches out 17 miles under the city streets!

For the Christmas season, there are over 2,000,000 lights on display.  

Intrigued, this year, for the first time ever, we 

loaded up in the car and drove through the caves to see the lights. 

We were amazed!

First, we unhooked seat belts and the kiddos got to ride up front with us.  

Even though its the middle of December, the cave was nice and just warm enough that we were comfortable to cruise through with the windows down. 

Christmas music plays is turned up and everyone is dancing and singing along in their cars, 

self included.

The light displays are so cool! 

So many of the exhibits imply movement, like the tank above shoots the bullets, 

which the lights blink off and on so that it appears to be soaring through the air. 

Both kids were so pleased to find their favorite characters, 

including Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Santa, of course!

The whole trip only takes about 30 minutes, 

but we had so much fun, we turned around and drove through a second time!

I hope we make this a family tradition. 

It'd be nice to go every year!

(I'm just glad I don't have to pay all of that electric bill!)
