A Ship. A Storm. And a Christmas Story of Heroic Proportions.

 

Don’t miss this epic, heart-warming, inspirational tale, inspired by a true story that will remind us all of the importance of tradition, kindness, and the joy of Christmas! With a delightful hotel, great Amish food and touring, and a Christmas light display, you surely won’t want to miss the bus for this great holiday getaway!

 

Day 1:   We’ll depart mid-morning for our holiday getaway. We’ll stop for lunch on our own enroute. This afternoon we check into the Carlisle Inn for our one-night stay.  This is a delightful hotel that gets top ratings from its guests.  After refreshing we enjoy an included “eat yourself full” family-style dinner at the Dutch Valley Restaurant. After dinner enjoy “The Christmas Tree Ship”.  In November 1912, a man known as “Captain Santa” stood at the helm of The Christmas Tree Ship.  It was transporting Christmas Trees from Upper Michigan to the Chicago area’s underprivileged and wealthy alike when it encountered a violent storm on Lake Michigan.  Now, on a mission to keep her family’s legacy alive, his widow must come to terms with the lake and all it represents.  But can she do it?  Daughter Elsie believes together they can and has a surprise in store for her mother that will change everything. Enjoy the story of one family’s unsinkable mission to save Christmas!  D

Day 2:   After our breakfast, we will visit the newly enlarged Walnut Creek Amish Flea Market. From clothing to jewelry, home décor to pet supplies, you can find it all here! Next, it’s homeward bound anxious to share memories with family and friends about our holiday getaway.  B
