Romantic Getaway in Columbia

Columbia is the jewel of the gold country. At the heart of this little gem is the historic town which is now a state park. Stay in the Fallon House (right in the state park) and you can imagine how it was to live here 150 years ago. For something a little more homey, stay a few blocks away in the historic Harlan House, Bed and Breakfast. It is an easy walk from there to old town state park and shops. This delightful B&B offers quaint charm and a delicious breakfast. For a romantic night on the town, eat dinner at Columbia Kate's and see a play (reserve ahead of time) in the historic Harlan Theater.

This is really the antique town of Columbia--in which people still live and work-- made into a state park. You will see shop owners dressed in period costumes. You can take in a play in the theater, take a stage-coach ride and visit the museums and shops.
Just a short walk to the state park, this historic bed and breakfast, appointed with antiques and collectibles, is a charming and romantic choice for lodging while in Columbia. The Harlan House is just a short walk to shops. This reasonably priced inn offers comfortable beds, a lovely ambiance and a delicious home-cooked breakfast..

I am the Vice President of an international, non-profit conservation organization, Save the Turtles, Inc. My eight years as a hands-on VP has provided me with plenty of experience writing web content, proposals, ad copy, brochures, fliers, promotional material, letters of inquiry (the list could go on and on.) Writing for Save the Turtle's website has provided me with great exposure to the concepts and practices of SEO. It seems that we have done rather well as our Google ranking is most often number one on the page. Although, I am still on the board of Save the Turtles and every bit as passionate about saving endangered species as ever, I am currently also enjoying another incarnation as a freelance writer. I love, love, love writing travel blogs! Lately, I have been writing for Uptake.com. and Mynatour, an eco-travel site based in London. I have also written an number of articles for other sites covering such wide-ranging topics as health, food, real estate, and science. My goal, with each writing assignment, is to match each clients individual needs by writing with an appropriate "voice" and level of readability for each unique, target audience.
