Charleston Tree Lighting at Marion Square Park











Our new house is 1 block from Marion Square. It is great to be able to walk up (or get pulled in my fancy wagon) there for all the activities they have going on- farmers market, soccer, and most recently, the tree lighting. It was "so fun!" The 3 wise men were there with real camels and Santa showed up to help light the HUGE tree. We drank hot cocoa and sang Christmas carols with everyone- the park was packed. It was also a very chilly night, so it made it seem more like Christmas time. After the tree was lit, we walked down to the harbor to watch the parade of boats. All of the sail and power boats were decorated with Christmas lights etc. and they cruised right by us all along shore. We ended our night at the pirate restaurant, where I enjoyed some fried shrimp. What a great night!
