If you don't know what to do for New Year and don't want to be home for the special date... this is for you!
I'm from Brazil and we are used to we celebrate New Year big time! It's a very important date there, right next to Christmas in importance. We get the family together, prepare a big meal, and party all night... waiting and celebrating the arrival of a new year. Oh, and we have tons of fireworks (think 4th of July celebration here in the US and you will have an idea of our New Year celebration there).
When I moved to the US 5 years ago, I didn't really understand why many people would stay in their homes and go to sleep before midnight. But that's the beauty of knowing different cultures: we always learn and respect the differences.
But if you are like me and like to party during the New Year Holiday, then this trip is for you!
Here is a secret you might not know yet: Wild Dunes in Isle of Palms, SC (really close to Charleston) offers a great New Year Party for its guests and it's child-friendly! With DJ, hors d’oeuvres, desserts and a glass of bubbles during midnight’s champagne toast with sparkling cider for the kiddos.
New Year party goes from 9 p.m. to 12:30 a.m and it's only $35/adult, $12/child. Children 3 and under complimentary. Not bad, right?
Book a 4 night (or how many you want) at the Wild Dunes Resort for a perfect New Year celebration. (A 4 night for 2 adults and 2 kids it's about $760).
The weather there is usually better than Charlotte. Last year we got lucky and went to the beach and to the pool! The year before that was cold but we also had a great time!
If the weather is not in your favor, no worries because there is plenty to do in the resort: tennis, biking, beach volley... and Charleston: great restaurants and we all loved visiting the USS Yorktown Museum. There is also the Aquarium which is fun for the whole family.
This is a great opportunity to spend some quality time with your family, in a beautiful hotel and close to Charlotte! Contact me at marilia.zanim@gmail.com and I will let send you more information about this trip and how you can make most of it! I'm sure you will not regret entering the New Year on the right foot!
It was a little cold but playing football at the beach is always better than staying home with electronics!
How about this view???
A morning run, last one in 2014!
Can you have fun at the beach in cold weather? YES YOU CAN!!
Visiting the USS Yorkshire museum in Charleston. A great learning experience!
Well, kids are not cold as we usually are!
This is how the party looks like:
My husband doesn't dance... but he did at the New Year Party!!
And last year - entering 2016 - we were lucky and got beautiful weather!!
Contact me today!
The hotel doesn't have a lot of availability so the sooner the better
(and really, 2017 is just 64 days away! OOOOHHHH).
Besides, you will start 2017 already ahead on one resolution: to travel more! ;-)
