We did the carriage ride last year and loved it! It's free, although there is a tip jar, and I'll probably take a few dollars to put in this year. The coffee coupons are great! You even get music/words for Christmas carols to sing with all the strangers you are riding with :) Be ready to wait for your turn, it's a popular free event!
ReplyDeleteThe tour of the Campbell House at Christmas sounds great! I've just been there once before in the spring. Thanks for the tip Jenessa!
Thanks for the tip! We may try to do the carriage ride next friday on our date night! Sounds fun!
