The Walkway of Lights

This is our third Christmas in Austin and we still have not explored the famous Trail of Lights at Zilker Park. It runs for just 10 days, right before Christmas every year and we've just never been able to squeeze it in to our busy schedules.






The aforementioned Trail concluded on the 23rd, but today we explored a much smaller version in Marble Falls, Texas, just 40 miles from our home. The small hill country town is also home to our favorite berry farm, so we've come to know it well.






The Walkway of Lights, on the shores of Lake Marble Falls, was perfect for our buddies. We strolled the pathways, enjoying Christmas music and hot chocolate, and took in the 130 sculptures lit with over a million twinkling lights. It was certainly a wondrous site, especially to two 3 1/2 year olds. We had such a good time that we walked through a second time before leaving.




Perhaps next year we'll make it out to Zilker Park for the acclaimed 1.25 mile Trail of Lights. Or, perhaps, we'll avoid the crowds and traffic and just go to this sweet little light display instead.

Either way, "Merry Texmas, Ya'll".
