Callaway Gardens

Yesterday evening, my friend Peggy's 87 year old mother treated us and one of her friends to the Fantasy of Light show at Callaway Gardens.  The four of us took an incredible 45-60 minute driving tour through the resort with light and sound exhibits along the way.  The Nutcracker Suite played and nutcrackers danced, toy soldiers marched, a rocking horse rocked and there were other toys and children; Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf played and squirrels ran up and down trees, rabbits played, birds flew across the road and there were raccoons and wolves; there was an exhibit of the 12 Days of Christmas with animation in each of the twelve days; an owl flew along the road and hooted; a ribiting frog jumped into the water with a splash of light; fairies grew flowers and gnomes frosted them with snowflakes; children had a snowball fight across the road in front of us; there was a butterfly exhibit and an amazing ride through a winter wonderland of blinking lights; and lots more!!!  How anyone could design such a beautiful fantasy is beyond me and then just implementing the design with the millions of lights, animation and music was a feat in itself.  Go see it if you are ever near Stone Mountain, Georgia in December!!
