Join your tour director and driver aboard our Christian Tours motorcoach as we begin our Christmas journey to French Lick, Indiana. We pass through the Blue Ridge Mountains of Tennessee on our way to Lexington Kentucky, the Horse Capital of the World, for our first overnight.

Traveling into Indiana, we stop in Dale IN to see Dr. Ted’s Musical Marvels, a fabulous collection of mechanical musical instruments. Let the happy music of yesteryear take you back to a simpler time. Next, we visit the Sisters of St. Benedict at the Monastery of Immaculate Conception. Founded over 150 years ago by four young Benedictine sisters, the Monastery has been home to over 1,000 women. On our tour, we learn more about the ministries, see the beautiful grounds and visit the gift shop for some delicious baked goods. Nestled among the hills of the Hoosier National Forest resides our final destination, French Lick Resort. We check in the Resort for a two night stay. Step into chic American sophistication that provides fun opportunities for us, including some retail therapy, a fabulous dining experience and a Christmas show. (D)

A full breakfast awaits us this morning to kick off our day of Christmas fun! This morning explore the resort on your own, with shopping, perhaps a spa treatment, maybe bowling or explore the French Lick Casino. Celebrating Christmas while enjoying resort life is a magical experience. We travel a short distance to West Baden, stopping for a visit at the former Kimball Piano factory, now French Lick Winery, where we can view the production area through large glass windows that line one wall. Check out the large gift shop before we depart. We return to the Resort for an included dinner. After dinner we board our Prevost “sleigh” for a trip to Wilstem Winterfest. One of the largest light shows in America, the one-and-a-halfmile- long drive-thru light display at Wilstem features 2.5 million lights! Welcomed by Santa, Elves, and Mrs. Claus, we enter the magical winter wonderland, venture through the beautiful covered bridge adorned with lights, a Victorian holiday scene, multiple animal families, see a live nativity, a candy factory and more!

Wake up and fill your tummy with another full, hot breakfast. We begin our journey home, humming some Christmas tunes, ready to celebrate this joyous season with our families. (B)
