This season, the holidays seem to have me wrapped in the warmth and excitement of holiday magic and tradition. My only child left for her first year of college out of state this fall. Her arrival home for the holidays this year helps enunciate the simplest joys of preparing for and celebrating.
We are so fortunate to live in an area that provides access to beautiful surroundings for outdoor exploration and adventure, with cities that are knitted together and offer diverse opportunities to shop, dine and discover. I am excited to continue to scout and explore this place my family calls home and look forward to sharing my experiences with you in 2023.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very merry and celebrated holiday season.
