It is that time of the year again when some of us reluctantly say goodbye π to warm Summer nights, trips to the beach ποΈ, family reunions πͺ, cookouts π, road trips π, and other warm-weather activities. It is, however, time to buckle down for what may or may not be a long and frosty winter βοΈ filled with ski trips πΏ, snowmen βοΈ, icy roads π£οΈ, and cancellations. It is also time to plan for holiday fun for Thanksgiving π¦, Christmas π, and New Yearβs π! If you live in the Charlotte, NC, area, we have discovered several neat one-day fall/holiday junkets starting with our Blue Ridge Fall Leaf Change π trip that will surely get you into the mood or enhance your fall and holiday experiences.
With Christmas π rapidly approaching, it's time to start checking your list before jolly St. Nick π makes his grand appearance in your living room to decide who was naughty or nice this past year. With that said, I have uncovered two holiday shopping trips to local, regional, and national “shop til you drop” ποΈ destinations to assist you in completing your gift lists. The first trip encourages you to put on those sneakers π, grab your wallet or purse πΌ, and come enjoy eight full hours of ″Power Shopping!″ π.
