Travel with Carole Newletter Continued from the homepage...

I’ve always enjoyed watching hot air balloons, but never have I been right in the middle of a field where they are being fired up! On our Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta trip, we were inside the fairgrounds before dawn to watch the ascension of nearly 450 magnificent balloons of all sizes and shapes. What an awesome experience!

Since your last newsletter, we’ve been to see the Ten Tenors (good looking young men!) sing their hearts out, and to the State Fair Musical production of the fabulous “Lion King.” It was my third time to see both of these productions and I still enjoy them as much or more than ever.

The Halloween Mystery Tour began with a ride way, way out in the country. Behind a clump of trees in the outskirts of Waxahachie was a pretty weird sight. Lo and behold, it was The Munster Mansion, a recreation of the 60’s TV sitcom, The Munsters, complete with the ascending signature staircase, coffin phone, suit of armor and Grandpa’s electric chair. A couple actually lives there, cobwebs and all. They open their home once a year for a benefit and for one group per year on Halloween. Ghosts are rumored to frequent Waxahachie’s Catfish Plantation restaurant where we had lunch. Next on the agenda was a visit to another famously haunted business, the Rogers Hotel, said to have had more than its share of ghosts in the building. After an ice cream social in the hotel dining room, it was time for trick-or-treating. Everyone was given a bag of candy to hand out to the town’s little children who make the rounds around the square each year. Could you have guessed where we were going? Read on for the next overnight Mystery
Tour.

We’ve had some really good luncheons and great entertainers, such as Pat Crenshaw, performing her piano and hat comedy program, Lynn Ross – Jazz Singer, Lisa Garrett singing Christmas favorites and Dr. Rumbley speaking about happiness. If you haven’t attended a luncheon, you should. It’s a great time to visit with fellow travelers and catch up
on what’s happening.
