Merry Mary is a member and invited me to go. With her in the driver's seat, the trip from home to Norfolk was quick. We didn't expect to ride snail-paced to the entrance to purchase our tickets. It took 45 or so minutes from the time we joined the line to when we rolled by the ticket hut -- that included two lines of cars!
Our miracle happened about 5 minutes before we were going to shell out $10 and $8. In the parallel line, a woman driving an SUV motioned for me to roll down the window. She waived two tickets and said she had them for $1 each, having purchased them from her company, one of the sponsors. I'm pretty sure the car was still in motion when I jumped out to snag the tickets while Mary dug for dollar bills.
Ah-mazing!
And an equally ah-mazing mile-long walk through lights representing the seasons...
Magic AND a miracle all in one evening...
And this year is only just getting started!
