Ohh my goodness! It was wonderful! Once we moved to Texas we kept hearing about the Marshall Christmas lights! They were even featured on Good Morning America! So, of course we had to go. It only takes about 10 minutes to get there from where we lived. Ahh, we were home in 30 minutes. It was not that great! Not even for a 10 minute trip!
Once we moved to Shreveport, we heard about the Natchitoches Christmas Lights! We brushed it off! Everyone said you have to go! So, we made the reservations. It is about an hour from our house. Jillian was in a bad mood, I was tired, and Andrew doesn't exactly get excited about Christmas lights anyway! We almost didn't go! But, it is where they filmed Steel Magnolias, so I was ready!
It was amazing! The lights were pretty good, but it is the atmosphere! Downtown is on one side of the road and there is a river on the other! Lights filled the banks, they had live music, people dancing in the street, and you could smell the cajun food miles away! Andrew was in heaven! There were thousands of people there! WE took our seat for the fireworks display. We thought it would last about 10 minutes! It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen! They had them off the bridge, in the water, in the sky, on the ground! It was awesome. Andrew, who thinks fireworks are overrated, said he thought it was the best thing he had ever seen! And I saw the house where the movie was filmed!
Jillian ate alligator bites for dinner, I had fried green tomatoes and meat pies, and Andrew had crawfish boudan (spelling??)! So, I guess we are officially Cajuns from Louisiana!
