Bradenton Holiday Lights

After Tara, Drew, his friend Aiden, Jayden, and I had visited Clearwater Beach and made the drive across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, we headed south to Bradenton to the Freedom Factory race track for their Bradenton Holiday Lights Festival. The first part of the light show was a drive through viewing, including on parts of the race track. After completing the drive through portion, there was a festival area with food booths and activities (like rock climbing and "bungee" jumping, none of which we participated in). We did stop at one of the food booths to try some freshly made donuts, which I think we all enjoyed!
