When we moved into this house last year we knew even before we bought it that the kitchen would have to be redone. That was tackled this summer, and the newly expanded and renovated kitchen was worth the three and a half months of living with a thick coating of construction dust, washing dishes in [...]
You have to time the visit just right. If you try to go up too close to Halloween, not only do you have to put up with heavy crowds, it’s also more likely to still be a bit too warm. If you go too late in the season, then either you’re fighting the Christmas crowds, [...]
