Date night - Garden of Lights

After dinner, we walked to the Garden of Lights -  at Turtle Bay Exploration Park.  We crossed the Sundial Bridge to the other side of the Sacramento River. 

It was cold. About 35 degrees. 

Dang, that's cold!

We were greeted with many beautiful lights - The butterflies represent the Butterfly House exhibit with live Butterflies to visit in the summer. 

Music played throughout the pathways 

I especially enjoyed the trees

Turtles - for Turtle Bay

Beautiful tunnels to walk through 

I told the husband I want something like this in our yard next year. 

He said, "yeah right!" 

It was the creative synchronizing of the lights and the music that was so cool. 

and an igloo, complete with a fog machine pumping fog inside.

On this path, there was a snow machine - 

I felt like a child -  oohing and aahing my way through. 

We're almost done and everything had been so pleasant and enjoyable. Everyone was so polite and allowed others to take photos --

except for one guy.

A guy in his late 30s and his family with young children and an older woman perhaps his mother or mother-in-law taking photos around this star. Everyone had been waiting and allowing everyone the opportunity. 

When they were done, his family moved over to the side and he just stood there, text messaging and flipping through his phone - he could have easily done that and allowed others their chance to take a photo. 

An elderly man walked up to him and very nicely asked him if he would mind moving to the side since the line was getting long and backed up. 

The young man, told the man "I'll move when I am good and ready."

And he proceeded to stand another couple of minutes or longer. People were starting to mumble - Finally, he turned around and yelled at all of us to 

"F- off"

He stayed for a few more seconds and then left. 

He looked like such a nice-looking young man with a sweet family - I would have never imagined he would be so mean and selfish. I glanced over at his family, the little ones were watching and his wife and the older woman looked horrified at his behavior. 

All in all, it was a very pleasant but COLD evening. I'm glad we went this year -

PS. Oh, I get it - it's because of the music.
