Bristol Speedway in Lights

Here in Tennessee, one of the big Christmas attractions is at the Nascar Motor Speedway in Bristol about 25 minutes away. They light up all the surrounding area and inside the track with huge light displays that you can drive through. Then you get to drive down on the track and in the middle is a carnival type area with rides. Our friends the Lufkin's and Shawver's(minus Cameron) were able to go with us. There was a bonfire where we all made s'mores and Leighton and the girls rode the train and merry go round. It was a blast! Leighton has LOVED seeing Christmas lights this year and they had every light display you can imagine, from toyland to aquariums to dinosaurs to the Nativity. A lot of the displays were also animated -- for example, Jack's hospital group did a display where Santa takes an unfortunate fall off the roof while delivering gifts... get it - because they're a hospital... HA... Okay, so it was a little corny!
And of course there were a few Redneck Santas :] We'll be going back here next year for sure!
