Today, we finally made it to the Toledo Zoo for Lights Before Christmas. I say finally even though it was only the third night in 2009, because we have been meaning to go for a few years and never made it. We decided to take advantage of the relatively mild weather this weekend and headed […]

We went Friday afternoon/evening. We were there from 3:30-8. I found a great spot on Huron St again this year – in a meter with a no parking during the parade sign. However, Ypsi should really look into the epark meters that Ann Arbor has. We had to make a run back to put change
