Starting an exploration of the #laurelhighlands #pourtour at #bellaterravineyards We really got a chance to learn about the plight of the wolves during our all-too-brief stay at Speedwell Forge B&B and the Wolf Sanctuary of PA. We are looking forward to the Howling with the Wolves bonfire tonight! We are back at the amazing, incredible Wolf Sanctuary of PA in Lititz! Because you simply cannot have too many photos of goats... Culpeper VA is a quaint town with rich history. Plus, the town has lots to offer daytrippers and weekenders alike. Less than an hour away from Shenandoah National Park and with several Civil War battlefields nearby, there’s lots to do and see during your stay! The Christmas spirits are gathering at the very haunted Linville Manor! https://midatlanticdaytrips.com/2022/11/zoo-lights-at-pittsburgh-zoo/ Colonial Williamsburg’s Christmas wreaths are famous, evoking the spirit of simpler times, colonial American can-do spirit, and a nostalgic and idealized view of Christmas that focuses less on plastic Santa Claus light-up figures and more on family traditions. Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt built their Vanderbilt Mansion, in Hyde Park NY, high above the Hudson River. This seasonal home was a their spring and fall retreat, one of several they owned in New York City, Bar Harbor, Newport and the Adirondacks.
