Holiday Lights and Art

 

One of the must see places during the holiday season is the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine and their awesome displays. Above is the view as you come into the hotel lobby and it is at least four stories of beautiful lighting.

And Below is one of many tree displays of multiple colors and sizes throughout the hotel common areas. Even the Riverwalk part of the hotel is decorated with thousands of lights for the season.

Also in the lobby area but not quite in the holiday spirit was the guy below ... hey it's Texas.

Then over at the Chamber of Commerce we saw this really creative bronze sculpture reflecting many aspects of the winemaker's art and product.

Turning around from the above picture you get this view of the Chamber's wonderful staircase and beautiful seasonal displays that took a lot of time and care to put together.

Later in the evening they closed the main street of Grapevine and we strolled around with several thousand other folks and listened to carols and gaped at the decorations. They actually had a snow machine blowing plastic snow over the top of this business below.

And finally they synced the fireworks to the singers as they did several more carols and it was quite impressive.

We also had dinner at Farina's on Main Street, so it capped off a really festive time in the neat little town of Grapevine.
