This year we visited Las Noches de las Luminarias at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. Lighted paths take you through a series of trails in which the botanical gardens are illuminated in colored lights. Sprinkled throughout the paths are places to stop and buy a drink. We saw visitors drinking coffee, hot chocolate or buying a bottle of wine. This special event ran from November 27th through December 31st. We visited the day after Christmas. Here’s a few photos from our evening.
