Enjoy festive lights in the Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas both online and in person

(Georgetown, Texas) – The traditional Lighting of the Square in Georgetown, Texas will look a little different this year due to Covid-19. The lights around the historic downtown square and county courthouse will be turned on mid-November so more people can visit in a more socially distanced manner. And in lieu of the popular, annual official lighting ceremony, the city will share a video of the program on social media, complete with the countdown, lighting, and music for home viewing.

A stay in a haunted hotel!

by Suzanne Stavert of Adventures of Empty Nesters

Our trip to Austin was filled with several unique, new adventures, not the least of which was a stay in a haunted hotel. What? Some say that The Driskill, which was built in 1886, with an obviously rich and compelling history, may possibly have some uninvited guests! Is it really haunted? Read below for more about this…

Where and what is the Don CeSar? It is a historic hotel on St. Pete Beach in Florida. The Don is also known as the Famous Pink Palace, or “the Wedding Cake”. I can attest to the beauty and elegance of the National Historic Landmark Hotel because I stayed there frequently when my daughter was at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg. It is a beautiful hotel, filled with history and haunted by romance.

Yosemite is an Amazing Fall Destination

Yosemite is an Amazing Fall Destination. I know because I have experienced it!

Yosemite, Yosemite National Park,
Yosemite’s Upper Falls

I have been to many places on this planet that are awe-inspiring, and I must tell you that Yosemite is in my top destinations. Our day in the park was perfect. The autumn sun was shining, but at times, the clouds gave drama to the scenery. Although the waterfalls and rivers had been dry since July, rain a few days before our visit allowed us to see gushing waterfalls and roaring rivers. Yosemite is a piece of art created by nature’s bounty. If you have not been there, I tell you it must be on your list of places to see before you die. There are no words to accurately describe its majesty and beauty but these photos will tell you everything you need to know. A picture is worth a thousand words!
