Mission Inn Festival Of Lights

We had heard great things about the Festival of Lights in Riverside so this year we definitely wanted to check it out. We went with some friends who all have babies and it was kind of too much so our time there was cut short. Ryan and I would have stayed much longer, but I think people's patience with crowds were running short so we made the long drive back to base. What we did see was beautiful and we said that maybe next year we would try again. Apparently there is Santa, reindeer and more.

If you know Ryan and I, you know that we will try to tackle anything with Dominick. He's such a good baby so we still try to get out and about with him. He absolutely LOVED the lights and he was still pretty happy. 

The Festival of Lights has over 3.6 million lights, it's a free event and it was beautiful...if you're into that kind of thing. Just beware that there is a lot of people, but theres some street vendors, ice skating rink, horse drawn carriage rides (which we didn't do, but wanted to) and much more.

The horse drawn carriages were beautiful.  Some of them were lit up and looked like the carriage from Cinderella and the horses hoofs were lit up. AMAZE!

Anyways, here are some pictures from our night there.
