We always drive down Eucalyptus Street in San Carlos as part of our Holiday tradition. Each home is decorated with so many lights and ornaments it is truly magical. If you haven't experienced it, you will not want to miss it!
It is becoming very popular and can get congested, so you may want to consider parking and strolling up the street. Perhaps stop and get a cup of coffee or hot chocolate to keep you warm. You won't be sorry!

Happy first day of Fall!
I can't believe that summer is over. We had a late one this year and it seems like the weather just started getting warm and now it is officially Fall! The kids had to go back to school in mid-August. The summers are getting shorter and shorter, but Fall is my favorite time of year.
It felt strange buying school supplies in August and seeing Christmas decorations for sale in the stores! That's far too early for me. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy the start of school, then Halloween and Thanksgiving, I feel stress and pressure as Christmas is approaching. Sigh.
When the kids were younger, we used to turn our garage into a haunted house for Halloween. We would start in September and work all month to decorate it. It was a big hit. Word spread and one year we had 600 people come through on Halloween! It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. What great memories! I love how San Carlos has a small town, close knit community feel for the holidays. We no longer have a haunted house, but others do. And what can compare to Eucalyptus at Christmastime? We live in a wonderful city!
Let's all make an effort to relax, enjoy and appreciate it!

Christmas Lights on Eucalyptus!
It's that time of year again! Time for Eucalyptus Ave. between Orange and Tamarack in San Carlos to shine like the stars for Christmas. If you haven't experienced driving down this street at night during the holidays - don't miss out! It is truly breathtaking and a lot of fun.
