Clark Griswald is alive and well in Seattle

I hopped aboard one of the King County Metro Transit Historic Fleet buses tonight for "Santa's Seattle Holiday Lights Tour." For $5, you couldn't get better entertainment! Almost 3 hours, we started out in Pioneer Square traveling north. Green Lake was awesome. Apparently, once a year, the community lights luminaries on the path which goes all the way around the lake. Then people, dogs and kids walk around the lake, many with lights on their heads, their dogs or strollers! Really, really cool. Then, the homes in the Green Lake neighborhood were decked out beautifully.
I'm pretty sure it was at the corner of 8th and 80th, is Clark's house! We're talking lights on the roof, the sides of the house, and every tree or bush in the yard. It was awesome! The entire neighborhood of Olympic Manor is not to be missed. Look down any of the streets, and it's Vegas baby!! Many of the boats in the Shishole Marina in Ballard had lights on them, and Ballard in general looked pretty shiny! Then, we ended by going through the shopping area downtown - 7th to Pine and down to 2nd, which included all of the trees with white lights, Macy's enormous star, and the big tree in front of City Centre (I think, or it may have been Westlake), well, at any rate, with blue-ish LED lights, it's a beauty.
Oh, and Santa did come on our bus, and shook hands with everybody and wished us all a very Merry Christmas, my wish for all of you.
