Tonight, I had the opportunity to experience the Festival of Lights at The Grotto. As you walk in, the trees are glowing with light from the thousands of strands of beaming Christmas lights. After paying an admission fee, our group of friends strolled through the walkway, enjoying the lit scenery, all the while embracing the story of Christ's birth.

I have to say, my favorite part of The Grotto is stepping up to the majestic 110 foot rock wall with a cave carved in the lower half. Inside the cave is the shrine to center those seeking to connect spiritually. Though we didn't get to go to the top where there is more of a garden and a prayer room overlooking the entire city of Portland, we did get to enjoy a performance of an acapella group, Men In Black. They sang many holiday favorites which echoed beautifully through the heights of the charming chapel.

If you haven't had a chance to check it out, there is still time to enjoy some holiday festivities! Take your kids, take your husband, family, and friends and take in the view. Check out the schedule - lots of great musical performances to come!

There's still time for some holiday fun ;)
