Hello!

We are coming into one of my favorite times of the year – Autumn and Winter. As much as I am a sun lover, I prefer the cooler months that we get here in South Florida. The sun seems a bit more welcoming with a cooler breeze blowing by. Even the nights seem longer to enjoy due to Daylight Savings Time not in effect. Gives you more time to enjoy the nightlife.

It’s not just the weather that makes me smile though. I like driving around the county and watching it open up for the season. I see the hurricane shutters coming down off the windows, I see the yards and gardens being trimmed and shaped up, I see the car carriers from up North dropping off vehicles and I see the hotels and resorts scurrying around and setting up for the impending visitors. All of this signals the start of the season for me. In a way, it seems as if the county has been hibernating all Summer and just waking up for the year. 

In its own way, it’s somewhat magical to observe and understand that all of these things help make Palm Beach County so special. People want to come back and enjoy this time of year right here and nowhere else. It’s like a family tradition, enjoy your holidays down in Palm Beach County and relax…escape to this warm part of the world with friends and family. Trust me when I say this, there are very few places like Palm Beach County during these months filled with such diverse Arts, Dining, Shopping, Golf and Beach activities. And during the holidays, the events are too numerous to count. (Keep up with them in our online Calendar of Events or our MicroSoft Tag.)

Yes, come Spring it does seem sad to see the hurricane shutters go back up and the car carriers loading the cars for their trip back up North, but for those 5 or so months the county was alive. And of course, we get to do it all again next year.

Happy Holidays and Warm Wishes for your stay in Palm Beach County!
