Gobble, gobble.

Gobble, gobble.

Turkeys may not fly, but they’re arriving by the plate full.  Also, tofurkey.

Happy Halloween from Your Vacations Team!

How, you ask, are the UpTake Vacation writers spending their fall? Well, thanks for asking. We’re doing a lot of this:

Linus: Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He’s gotta pick this one. He’s got to.

Revel in nature’s fall colors at Brookgreen Gardens Harvest Home Festival on October 24-25.  Enter the scarecrow building contest, try pumpkin painting or opt for hay rides, basket-weaving and pottery demonstrations while listening to live bluegrass music. With the lush Brookgreen Gardens as the setting, your fall vacation will be filled with beauty.  Covered with palmetto trees, hydrangeas and expansive lawns, Brookgreen Gardens resembles a swampy Garden of Eden.

Nestled between Myrtle Beach and Pawley’s Island, the 9,200-acre outdoor museum and National Historic Landmark boasts sculptures, gardens, fountains, marshes, swamps, an aviary and a zoo.  This place is so massive that admission tickets are good for seven consecutive days. I recommend devoting a day to the Harvest Home Festivalactivities and another for the sculpture garden and lowcountry zoo. Read More »

Happiest pumpkins on Earth - or at least Disneyland.

Yes, those are real pumpkins.  Yes, they are intimidating.  No, I didn’t carve them.  That’s a little something the kids call Disney magic.  They do, I’ve heard them.

Your moment will soon be upon you.  Prepare for pumpkins! Also, turkey.  Happy carving!
