It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Mini Christmas Tree with Soldier and Train

The decorations are up, and the Chipmunks are back on my iPod playlist. It’s that time of year again, so you know what that means: time to plan another early Christmas getaway! :-D Last year I traveled to Stockbridge in Massachusetts in a quest to recapture the Christmas spirit, something I hadn’t felt in a…

Feeling at Home in Staunton

Downtown Staunton

This post covers the events during October 24th, wrapping up the last leg of my 3 week road trip. I checked in for the night at a Best Western in Staunton, then hit the Texas Steakhouse nearby for some grub. I was already liking the atmosphere here. A bubbly and cute waitress with a familiar…

The Quest to Recapture My Christmas Spirit Begins!

The bags are packed, the Linc-Mobile fueled, and the letter to Santa requesting the girl of my dreams for my present this year (or a bajillion gabullion dollars) has been mailed. :-D Tomorrow I’m off to Stockbridge, Massachusetts to kick off a New England-style Christmas weekend. Even my car has been decorated with stockings and…

Reclaiming the Christmas Spirit

It’s official, I put in for the needed days off, and next week I will be well on my way to Stockbridge, Massachusetts for a good old fashioned Christmas weekend in New England. I booked for a night at the famous Red Lion Inn, then will stay at a normal roadside motel for the last…
