Write Up:

Thanks to everyone that came out, despite the drizzly forecast. It remained dry, so we stayed warm in our festive caps and puffy jackets. We did an extra mile (6.17) and still got back on time. 

For those that were wondering where we we went...

- We started at Piedmont, walked around the Meadow, exited the park to make a small loop around the Prado.

- Then we made our way thru Colony Square to see the Christmas tree show. (From Monday-Sunday at the top of each hour (5PM, 6PM, 7PM, and 8PM), watch Midtown’s tree come alive with colorful lights and festive holiday music.)

- Finally we made our way up Peachtree street to see the lit trees and towards the biggest Moravian star. (A Moravian star (German: Herrnhuter Stern) is an illuminated Advent, Christmas, or Epiphany decoration representing the Star of Bethlehem. )

- The last leg of the trip, we made our way down Peachtree to the Fox Theater. (Gotta love those Steve Miller fans, eh?)

Anyway, here are pics from the evening, courtesy of Joyce and Lee.
