Trolley-ing We Go

A few weekends ago, I was able to join 15 other girls on a Christmas adventure in the city. I was invited to take a ride on the holiday trolley in Chicago. The evening was brisk and filled with a cold and windy atmosphere; kind of the perfect weather for enjoying a holiday celebration.

As old and new friends gathered together, the Jingle Babes, as we named our group, headed out by trolley into the brightly lit city sky. People were gathered all around and everyone was in the Christmas spirit. We spent the next four hours exploring the city in all its colorful splendor.

First trolley stop was the Christkindlmarket, an open market bustling with shoppers and would-be vendors selling beautiful handmade items. From the market we decided to walk to State Street and to the store front windows that were decorated for the holidays and displayed so beautifully.

The next stop was the Christmas tree at Millenium Park, that lit up the Christmas sky. It was both majestic and regal. People gathered around to admire and create Christmas memories and holiday photos. Children were bright-eyed as the magic of the season shown on their sweet little faces.

The evening ended with the Zoolights display at the Lincoln Park Zoo. The atmosphere was festive and cheerful. Twinkling lights in every color of the rainbow lit up the grounds and animal cages. It was a treat to share in the holiday celebration of the zoo.

As the evening came to a close, and our adventure was winding down, it was wonderful to appreciate the new and old friends that were gathered together on a chilly night in December. An evening of trolley-ing we go was the perfect way to celebrate the season.
