James Island Country Park Christmas Lights - James Island, South Carolina

Charleston, SC has been my home for over 21 years now, and most of those years I've visited James Island County Park at Christmastime to see their Christmas Lights.

Their display grows bigger and brighter every year, and they have shops that sell the cutest Christmas things.  

For the past decade or so I've been going with a group of girlfriends that I used to work with at the Medical University of South Carolina back in the late 1990s.  We always have a good time.  

Here are a few photos, but you'll need to go see it for yourself to really appreciate it.
