Bonus: We checked out the very large Christmas tree at the Durham.
Bonus: We had to stop at Albanese on our way to Indiana. This year they had a whole moose on a ski mountain display. Loved it!
Bonus: The Fort Wayne Zoo did a whole Christmas daytime thing and we had to check it out. Years ago, they used to have lights at night. This year, they just had some special displays and certain animals were out. Plus free carousel and train rides.
