I love that point in the day just between sunlight and darkness when the lights are beginning to turn on in the city. The glow from the lights adds so much warmth to photographs. Both of these images are from Bethlehem, Pa., which is known as “The Christmas City”. Wandering through the historic district is to take a step back in time. The lamp posts are decorated with wreaths at Christmas and the Central Moravian Church on Main Street is a must-see stop on a walking tour of the city.

Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is a wonderful place to visit during the holiday season. I spent a few hours in the city capturing the historic downtown that was all decked out for Christmas. I’ll share a few favorite images over the next couple of days. These two photos were taken in the Historic Hotel Bethlehem on Main Street. They go all out with gorgeous decorations both indoors and out. The best part about the Hotel Bethlehem is that it is a pet friendly hotel!

Can you think of a better way to sightsee around historic Cape May, NJ than by horse and buggy? The horse knows the way to all of the best restaurants, shops, historic places, and inns.

I saw the lighthouse as I was driving in to Cape May, NJ. The GPS was programmed with a destination of Cape May Point, NJ, which is a nature area that includes the lighthouse. When the GPS said we had reached our destination, there was no lighthouse to be found. How can you lose something THAT big? It’s 157 feet tall! Thankfully just a quick few blocks away was this majestic structure, which, by the way, is still operational. Visitors can climb the 199 stairs to the top for an exceptional few of the peninsula. Definitely a “bird’s eye” view!

It’s fun to allow the GPS to search for new and interesting places to visit. I was driving home from a familiar destination recently and asked the GPS to search for parks near my route. Lo and behold, within a short driving distance I arrived at this beautiful barn and nearby lake. It was a great and very unexpected find. Thank goodness for the GPS, though, or I would have had difficulty finding my way home again! I was on many a back road and really had no idea where I was!
