Chinese Lantern Festival

I had originally purchased a Groupon for a  4 pack for a double date with my BIL (brother in law) but we kept dodging the weekend because of Holiday activities and out of town guests. (And that fact that it was BLISTERING cold outside.) Finally we got the opportunity to go but it was the last weekend and BIL was out of town so we took Sophia and MIL. I think many people had the the same idea since they too were holding their Groupon voucher waiting in line. The line was instantly. I felt really bad for the guy because it seemed to be the only one person who was able to scan the Groupon and he was doing it all himself. In addition there was a lot of people who would skip the line entirely then merge right at the end leaving everyone waiting behind them. It's just like Dallas traffic. I think we spent more time in line then we actually did looking at the beautiful lanterns. Having said that, it was totally worth the wait. Sophia was in awe the entire time. She just could not believe how beautiful everything was. It was fun just watching her run around and look at everything. 

The line getting in. We where standing in for a hour.

By the time we left the line was twice as long. It was almost 2 full blocks. :)
