We’re taking a break from publishing new articles for the year so we can spend the rest of the holiday season with our families and ring in the new year refreshed and ready to bring you brand new, original content in 2019. Look for our first batch of articles on Monday, January 7. But we’re not totally disappearing. Keep following us on Facebook and Instagram over the break!
Before we head out, we thought it would be fun to look back at our most read articles of 2018. And we’d be remiss if we didn’t say that interspersed among all of these great posts were lots of searches for some of our local and seasonal guides. If you didn’t catch them this year, be on the lookout for our 2019 updates:
- Top 3 Places to See Christmas Lights on the Peninsula
- 2018 Easter Egg Hunts & Events on the Peninsula
- Fall Guide to Pumpkin Patches and Halloween FUN
