Conservatory Aglow

I wanted to keep my streak going but I actually ran out of relevant things to talk about. This isn’t a diary so I can’t tell y’all everything 😆. I was challenged to write a post for 7 days straight and I did that! What I liked about that is I realize I can do more than 3 posts a month which was my low ball goal. I did increase the goal to 4 post a month for 2021 but now I feel like that is too low. Lol. Let’s see how it goes.

I wanted to put this out last night but after all that damn driving, it wasn’t happening. I seen this event in 2019 but I didn’t go. Of course I wanted someone to go with me but I’m single people! And I am tired of doing everything by myself. Well, last night I said fuck it. I hit my fuck it button Sean 😂. I got that from an episode of the Quote of the Day show by none other than Sean Croxton. The speaker was Wallo267 and the episode is “Fuck What They Think”. Ok I realize it isn’t the same topic but who cares, the button was pushed 😆. Anyway, I drove to Columbus, Ohio to the Franklin Park Conservatory to attend Conservatory Aglow. I love lights. Like I can’t stress it enough. I seen a post on Instagram that reminded me of this exhibition and I had to go this year.

I was driving down the street and when the place came into view my heart started singing. I was so giddy! I wish I had a picture of the first encounter. I do however have plenty of other pictures to share with you. The Franklin Park Conservatory is open year round. It features art and has these biodomes of live plants that are amazing. I am glad I just didn’t see the lights and leave. I walked through the inside first. The cost of the ticket to the exhibition included the whole conservatory. The main event was outside.

Once outside I was greeted with the rainbow tunnel. The main reason I wanted to come.

It didn’t stop there. So many other light displays.

Christmas trees made out of glass ornaments.

A train village

A light pyramid that contained 1,000 lights and took 35 hours to construct.

A waterfall of lights that ran into a stream of lights.

It is a must see. I am so glad that I went even if it was by myself. I will continue to live and do what makes me happy, with or without anyone else. It is too much I want to do before I die. I can’t wait.

What are you waiting for? Are you doing what makes you happy? Or are you waiting on someone to do it with you? What do you want to do? Where do you want to go? I am interested in hearing about your goal destinations. I may add it to my ever increasing bucket list. Of course, I want you to be safe in all of your endeavors. Masks on 😷, 6 feet apart and no overcrowded events. Now, that shit can wait. Stay well and whole. Much love 🧡 💚.
