What a better way to bring in the Christmas spirit than … More  
What a better way to bring in the Christmas spirit than a weekend getaway in Paradise and the surrounding areas of historic Pennsylvania.

Forget the; what came first, "chicken or the egg?"
Was it the Sleigh and reindeer or the horse and buggy?!?!
...Or was it this recession and thousands of jobless families at the mercy of corperate mongrels in search of the all mighty last dollar your holding?

This exploration is about making the best of what we got. As we drive by all those strip malls littered with fender benders and last minute, "mine mine mine" hostility, my children will learn there is more to life than what we have, or could ever own. The preservation of family tradition, purity of the soul, and the land of opportunity awaits us.
