“The Fables of the Great Writers” display which had an amazing Edgar Allen Poe carved pumpkin paying homage to “The Raven”.

It’s a popular ticket, so make sure to get there early or arrive toward the end of the night in order to avoid the major crowds. We arrived at around 9:30 and although there wasn’t a huge line at the gate, we quickly found out that once inside you’re stuck in another much longer line that meanders toward the wetland trails where the exhibit actually begins. For the coldest of nights they offer hot drinks and food at two separate locations along the line but both were packed so we kept walking.

Waiting on any line usually makes us crazy but this particular night was especially maddening due to a young couple in lust. From what I could tell they were college freshmen who maybe had been dating since the start of school. We had the good fortune of listening to such delights as “I bet I can jump up and down longer than you” as well as “Fall back in my arms I promise to catch you” and who could forget “Let me take your picture doing my cheerleader move - I promise I won’t post it”. These and other crazy conversations took place in between make out sessions. The final straw was an impromptu “I love you” on the phone when the boyfriend was back in line getting her a hot chocolate. All I can say is WOW.
