A Trolley Ride And Christmas Lights

Saturday night we went for a trolley ride, around 
Ocean Grove







Afterward,
we went for a ride in our "four wheel drive sled" to view the Christmas lights on display.
It's a tradition, on the winter bucket list...so we had to!

This house was my favorite.




This next house was wild but I must admit, the child in me loved it!










Can you believe that was all one house?



The next 2 were favorites also!



It was a good ride and a really fabulous night!

Some really nice lights! I wonder how long it took for the one house to blow up all of those inflatables? LOL! Since we live in the country the lights are more scattered, but several houses along the way to ours have lights up. I hope you enjoyed your trolley ride!

How fun to see all those gorgeous houses lighting up all their lights and paying homage to the festive season. Gosh, they know how to light up the world in your neck of the woods, don't they.

Thanks for the tour of lights! I think the first was my favorite too.

I just love your sweater and vest combo you were wearing :) Had to get that out first :)
Oh my goodness, I can't tell you which one I loved the most there were so many ties, but I love the bushes full of lights, we have some on ours but I love how thick those are, just gorgeous!!

Those are the best Christmas lighted house photos I’ve ever seen! I didn’t get to drive around and look at lights this year and you know what? I’m enjoying yours so much it doesn’t matter! I’ll be back to look at these again throughout the day as I sit down with a cup of tea to rest. Or a glass of tea as it’s a bit warmer than in recent days. I know it was on the cold side as you and hubs were out that night. But there you were in your sandals! I don’t know why I get such a kick out of seeing them but I do!

Wow, that was all amazing. I love how all of these homes are decorated and I loved the one you did too. I really love older home styles. Thanks for taking us on this adventure. Sending loving Christmas thoughts and hugs your way!

hehehehe, good observation!!! we went from OG to spring lake. anything with a driveway was in spring lake. i learned on the trolley ride that there are 51 homes in OG that have driveways, i would have to count them myself to believe that. the trolley tour was really nice, you would have enjoyed it!! merry christmas my friend!!

Oh my gosh, I kept trying to pick a favorite too, but they are all just lovely and precious in their own way, it's hard to do. It appears you have no snow, and it looks like it was a beautiful evening to enjoy all of it. Thanks for sharing it with us too.
