Tonight we had all intents to go to Red Robin at Bellevue Square with some friends and then go to the Snowflake Lane "production" at 7:00.
We were to meet at 5:30, go have a quick dinner and voila!
Whoa, plans changed. It was a 60 minute wait for a table at Red Robin for 12. That would make us miss the Snowflake Lane.
Next option--Pagliacci's pizza--oops 1 1/2 hour wait there.
Well fast food pizza and pasta--pizza by the slice was what we got in the mall.
Then Snowflake Lane at 7:00--with A LOT of people.
We didn't know what we were expecting but it was somewhere between a parade and show that we thought would happen.
What we got was some hight school band members as toy soldiers handing out candy, a drumline, music played overhead-with an announcer, and snow (which really was lovely)
Verdicts in---
We think that maybe we don't need to go back next year :)
If you look close you can see the snow falling! (Bubble snow) |
I went to snowflake lane last year for my first time with high hopes. We got stuck in a ton of traffic getting to the mall, we had to circle around and around until we finally found a parking spot, there were tons of people at snowflake lane and we were smooshed, and then it just wasn't that cool. The commercials on TV are quite deceiving.
