We went to Huntsville, AL for Halloween this year and we all had a good time. We live in a rural area about two hours from Huntsville and there really isn’t a lot for the children to do on Halloween. So with the holiday falling on a Saturday this year we were able to pull off the trip with minimal schedule disruption, no school missed and pretty inexpensive since we will be staying over night. Our room was booked at a Huntsville hotels near the Huntsville Botanical Gardens.

The botanical gardens were having their annual Scarecrow Trail fall event. It was amazing to see 100 scarecrows made out of all kinds of materials and objects. Some of them were down right amazing. All types of fruits, vegetables, leaves, straw, grape vine, flowers, sticks, brooms and so much more stuff was creatively combined to create the Scarecrow Trail. The children enjoyed this a lot more than I anticipated they would. In the afternoon we found a haunted house to take the children to they had never been to one and have been asking. It was a really scary one and all the kids got a really big scare it was very funny to watch as they went from tough and brave to very, very scared. It was another very good time.

After the haunted house tour we got everyone something to eat and then got them to settle down for a little while before getting their costumes on for the night.

We saw an ad for a neighborhood Halloween block party that didn’t seem like it was too far from the hotel. Not really knowing the city we were not comfortable to just take the children out trick or treating. We were grateful we saw the as. The party was great with a ton of activities for all of us. The children were able to trick or treat for candy and I bobbed for apples, that was a good laugh for us all.

It was a fun time and maybe we will do it again next year, with Halloween on Sunday I bet most of these events will be held on Saturday.

Aunt Viva had decided that she was going to install a hot tub in the backyard of her comfortable town home. She was a relatively modest woman and has continually made improvements and upgrades to her home since she purchased it six years ago. After reading some literature about the potential health benefits of hot tubs and their stress relieving potentials she decided that having one at her home would be perfect for her. Aunt Viva works as an emergency room nurse and her job can be extremely chaotic and stressful and she always has long hours and unpredictable schedules.

She loves her job and would not dream of quitting or changing careers. However, due to the demanding nature of it, she has always considered her home to be her personal sanctuary and she decorates it using peaceful and harmonizing colors and themes. When she decided to purchase a hot tub she contacted choosehottubsdirect.com and received quality information on models and accessories that may be suitable for her space and her needs.

After further investigation into all the features and additional options that are available for most hot tub models Aunt Viva decided that she would redesign her small backyard and turn it into a variation of a Japanese tea garden. She would then have the hot tub enclosed by bamboo in one corner area. She also wanted a little pond installed and a space for mediation and yoga. She chose lighting features that would enhance a meditative atmosphere and will play soothing sounds and music on the stereo system. In addition she found aromatherapy scents that are designed for hot tub use and will have those available as well. Aunt Viva could not be happier or more excited about her intentions and hardly wait to have her tub installed and her yard overhauled. She is sure that this will be the perfect answer to stress relief and relaxation after a crazy sixteen hour shift in the emergency room.
