We’ve been making our way through the holiday offerings in our area. One tradition I had never heard about is the Christmas Ships. The city decks out a couple of ships in lights and they drive around to the various beach areas and blast music at people on the shore who are standing around bonfires. Other people who own ships deck out their ships with lights and follow along. The kids enjoyed this activity because they got to see a bonfire for the first time and they got to stay up past their bedtimes!
We also stayed up one night to see the Garden D’Lights at the Botanic Gardens in Bellevue. Fun!
