It begins with a look at a spot near and dear to my, and many other New Englanders, hearts.  Edaville Railroad in Carver, Massachusetts combines Christmas scenery, cranberries, and trains into one delightful family-friendly park.  Learn the story of how it got started and how it has persevered through nearly eight decades.

As kids when first discovering reading it was fascinating and exciting to find magazines geared toward younger people. From elementary school through high school there were great publications that made childhood fun. Reminisce about some of the beloved kids and teens magazines as we go way Back In the Day.
This week's Road Trip combines a lot of what makes the Holiday Season special. Snow, wide open spaces, a quintessential small town, and of course teddy bears.  The town of Shelburne, Vermont is home to the Vermont Teddy Bear company and is sure to make for a perfect backdrop to December traveling.
