Happy Spring, everyone!!
It is so nice to say that is it truly Spring, but for some corners of the country, I know it can be a mean tease. Having lived in Vermont for many years, I remember the bittersweet feeling when Spring had arrived, only to look out my window at 2 or more feet of snow, with more in the forecast. But, rest assured my snow-covered readers, you, too will soon experience the signs of Spring! Plan ahead and book a trip to a warmer climate. You don’t have to go far, either. Places like North Carolina, Louisiana and Gerogia all have lovely weather right now. And chances are that wherever you hail from you can drive 5 hours or less to someplace that has better weather than yours. So, to help you out, I have listed a number of upcoming Spring events happening in various regions. So pack up and take off for a taste of Spring!
