It is that time of the year again when some of us reluctantly say goodbye to warm summer nights, trips to the beach, family reunions, cook outs, road trips, and other warm-weather activities. It is, however, time to buckle down for what may or may not be a long and frosty winter filled with ski trips, snow men, icy roads, and cancellations. It is also time to plan for holiday fun for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s! If you live in the Charlotte, NC, area, we have discovered several neat one-day fall/holiday junkets starting with our Blue Ridge Fall Leaf Change trip that will sure get you into the mood or enhance your fall and holiday experiences.
With Christmas rapidly approaching it is time to start checking your list before jolly St. Nick makes his grand appearance in your living room to decide who was naughty or nice this past year. With that said, I have uncovered two holiday shopping trips to local, regional, and national “shop til you drop” destinations to assist you in completing your gift lists. The first trip encourages you to put on those sneakers, grab your wallet or purse, and come enjoy eight full hours of ″Power Shopping! ″Your day will begin with four hours of shopping at the outlet stores in Gaffney, S.C. After departing Gaffney, you're off to Concord Mills Mall for four additional hours of shopping. The 2020 dates start Friday 11/13/2020 through Sunday 12/06/2020. The times are Friday and Saturday 9:30 am - 5:30 pm; and Sundays 1 pm - 6:30 pm. Ticket pricing is only $12 - $18 per person.
