If you are looking for a fun Christmas themed getaway, take a trip to Seneca Falls, NY.  Here, you will find the "It's a Wonderful Life" bridge. ๐ŸŒ‰
This is the bridge that inspired the 'George Bailey jumping off a bridge' scene in the 1946 Frank Capra film starring Jimmy Stewart. The film has gone on to be a holiday classic. 
The bridge is adorned with many little bells, that visitors place there with the names of lost loved ones in their memory.
๐Ÿ””
 These bells are sold at the "It's a Wonderful Life Museum" in town.
๐ŸŽ„
 Seneca Falls is also the birthplace of women's rights. Check out the @womensrightsnps and the Susan B Anthony meets Elizabeth Cady Stanton statue, when you are there.

  • If you are looking for a great way to bring some extra cheer into your holiday celebrations, try these delicious cocktail mixers from @appleflatsfoods. They have two brand new additions to their line up of crabapple mixer flavours - Harvest Peach and Juicy Pear.
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ
These mixers are made with the juice from crabapples fresh from their farm, blended with the juices and concentrates from Niagara-grown peaches and pears.ย 
The mixers subtly blend the peach and pear with the tartness of the crabapple and provide an excellent flavour complement to the liquors.
๐Ÿธ
AppleFlats provides a couple of cocktail recipes on the bottles which capitalize on the flavours and amazing aromas of these mixers.
With the Harvest Peach, we enjoyed the "Old Dusty Grower" which is a combination of Vodka and sparkling water.
For the Juicy Pear, we tried the "Prickly Pear" cocktail, which mixes withย  Tequila and sparkling water.
๐Ÿน
They are low in sugar, with no artificial colours or flavours, adding brightness and a refreshing flavour boost to your cocktails.
๐Ÿธ
You can find AppleFlats mixers at many grocery stores, farmers markets, and specialty stores across Ontario. You can also find them at their retail store in Shakespeare, Ontario. Try their full line of flavours which includes Sweet Maple and Sour Apple.
๐ŸŽ…
They make great stocking stuffers, too.

  • Paul Bunyan is a larger-than-life lumberjack and American Folk hero. Along with his best friend Babe, the blue Ox they are the subject of many tall tales. ๐Ÿ‚ 
There are several #PaulBunyan
Statues around the USA (and Canada). This one is located at the  Rumford, Maine visitor centre. It is located in a beautiful spot along the Androscoggin River in the Maine north woods. ๐ŸŒณ
You will see another #PaulBunyan statue in our previous post from @visitbangormaine

  • This weekend, we took our annual roadtrip to see Evil Dead the Musical. ๐Ÿ’€
We're all jammed in the car
And we're going really far
Driving deep into the trees
With hot dogs, chips and cheese.
๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ
This time we went to Orono, Maine (just outside Bangor).
This was a small local theatre production, from @sometheatrecompany. 
We had our front row centre seats in the "Soak Zone"...and they weren't kidding around.
We got soaked.

  • "They're creepy, and they're kooky, mysterious, and spooky."
๐Ÿ’€
A trip to a cemetery may seem like an unusual place to visit when you are on vacation. They can also be a great place to learn a little bit of history about where you are, and the people who lived (and died) there.
We love to look for cemeteries with a fascinating story when we travel.
Our favourite types of graves include those with famous people, hauntings, unusual headstones, historical events, and those with notorious residents.
๐Ÿ’€
Some examples of these include:
๐Ÿ”นEdgar Allan Poe: Baltimore, MD
๐Ÿ”นcryptic headstone: Wellesley, ON
๐Ÿ”นBootHill graveyard: Tombstone, AZ (shootout at OK corral)
๐Ÿ”นLafayette Cemetery No 1: New Orleans, LA
๐Ÿ”นBurying Point: Salem, MA (Salem Witch trials)
๐Ÿ”นMark Twain: Elmira, NY
๐Ÿ”นNight of the Living Dead: Evans City, PA
๐Ÿ”นMarie Laveau (voodoo queen): New Orleans, LA
๐Ÿ”นJack The Ripper (suspected): Rochester, NY

  • We had a cran-tastic time at the Bala Cranberry Festival. ๐Ÿ
Cranberries are another wonderful flavour of autumn, and in Bala they take their love of the tart superfruit very seriously.
This was our first time going to @balacranberry and we were surprised by the size of this festival.
It is a massive festival, and we definitely underestimated people's love for the cranberry. ๐ŸŽฏ
