Celebration of Lights

I grew up in Wheeling, WV, home of Oglebay Park's famous Festival of Lights. So, lighted displays have always been a part of my Christmas memories and traditions. Apparently there's a similar display in Pittsburgh's North Hills - Hartwood's Celebration of Lights. Like Oglebay, the Hartwood lights also meander through a large park, and there's also a beautiful mansion, and several of the displays are actually the same! Oglebay was slightly bigger, but there are a lot of aspects of Hartwood that I liked better (sorry, Oglebay, it's the truth, though).

While the boys were having fun with the ladies at Chuck E Cheese, and after our scrumptious dinner, Aaron took me to see Hartwood. It was simply spectacular! Here are some highlights from Hartwood's Celebration of Lights...

Since it was a week night and it's not advertised nearly as much as Oglebay, there were hardly any cars! So, we were able to take our time and slowly meander through the displays enjoying each and every one (and getting plenty of pictures). We're gonna have to take the boys to see it too! If you're ever in the Pittsburgh area during the holidays, I highly recommend you take in the Celebration of Lights!
