Just so folks know the Botanical Gardens are in Norfolk, not Va Beach. They are located near the airport. Don

PS - We went last year with the Hubby's Mustang Club. No discount was offered,  but they strung  us along about it.  We also had the first car loaded with all the funds ($$/addmission) to get everyone through together. They didn't like :076:that we pulled over to the side for a few minutes to wait for some others to catch up  before going moving along. So maybe as we first enter the site we need to get everyone lined up, before we get close to the entrance, if we want to travel through as a club.  If the first car pays for X numbers of cars to get through we should be about to get through without interruption. I'm not trying to step on anyone's organizational skills here.  Hopefully this may help.

The plan is to leave together from the restaurant and caravan over to the lights (as planned). At the restaurant I can collect up everyones money for the lights then we will go through first and pay for everyone. Thanks for the tip.

It was warm enough last year that I rode with one of the verts in the club. I got some excellent pics and video of the club enjoying the Christmas  ride. I was only able to get a few cars in front of me and a few in back, but it was well worth getting just a bit chilled.

It's a standing rule that if you are driving a convertible on the lights run that you have to have your top down!  Just ask me & Scott, last year we froze our butts off. LOL!!!

Not sure about the running lights, Jeff. But please post if you find out anything. Maybe call Frank & ask him. Hope you guys can make it. I put the 4 of you on the list.
