After finding parking, then believing I should turn around and park elsewhere as Melanie suggested, I lost my parking space on the narrow incline with parallel parking spots. It was snowing. We finally had a place to park but there was a tall ladder to climb. It was not a normal ladder, but more like an industrial ladder, and the very last rung was abnormally high, so high that I had to have someone help me lift my leg high enough to reach it. I couldn't let up my pace because I had a line of people behind me.
When I got to the top it was a little wooded area. The snow had been coming down slushy but here, it was covered in snow but with no more snowfall. It was set up like an amusement park. Nikki came over and put her arm around me as we talked to people we met up there. At one point the little white lights illuminating the park turned off and it was still beautiful--but it was night, and it was cold, and I was mostly curious about what this place was.
