Stunning LAHASKA

Oh my gosh - the illuminated trees at Lahaska's Peddler's Village are even more GORGEOUS than ever before!! It is SO worth the drive at night, just to see them.  Pile the kids in the car, plan a date night for two, or just head up by your lonesome, but GO, before Christmas or the week after.

Our annual Christmas jaunt always includes stops at Pine Wreath & Candle, The Mole Hole, The Paper Chase, Journey's Spirited Gifts (all near each other), Town Crier Bakery, Truffles, Canterbury Tales, and Cookery Ware Shop. Whether you're stocking up on presents or simply browsing with dreams of Christmases to come, they are loads of fun.

Much as we are tempted to head across the road to even MORE great shops (caveat - -  Giggleberry Fair IS a must-do if you have kids for its amazing carousel & so much more), it sort of breaks the magic spun by being surrounded by the millions of little bitty lights covering all those great big trees.  Enchantment!

Dining options include Peddler's Pub (not to my liking - feels closed in), Hart's Tavern (casual, tasty) or the Cock n' Bull (colonial theme, more formal, $$, but charming).

Beyond well worth the gas!!
