JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In this time of virtual school, work and meetings, here are some ideas for a festive one-tank trip to see lights, lots of twinkling holiday lights from the safety of your family vehicle.
The first time I took one of these lighted tours, I lived in Portland, Oregon. The venue was Portland International Raceway. With the help of skillful elves, the race track had undergone a winter transformation that turned it into a twinkling, flashing and glowing displays of holiday festiveness. Within the first mile of the drive, I was hooked. Music was piped in through the van’s speakers through a low frequency on-site radio station. The displays were spaced out along the track with plenty of strung lights between.
