You’ve got to add this place to your Holiday bucket list! 
The wonder of twinkling lights✨ and the whimsy of nature collide and sparkle in The Winter Wander Trail at Boar’s Head Resort🐗. Feel your Christmas Spirit come alive during an illuminated lakeside stroll that is truly magical.
🍩 Food vendors, ice skating ⛸️ , fire pits, and the chance to sit down with the big man himself 🎅🏼 all make this holiday experience truly magical! You may even find SNOW! ⛄️ 

We loved strolling around the lake, taking in the sights and sounds of this magical time of year while enjoying the music, food and fun all around us! Warm up with some hot fresh donuts or a s’mores kit by one of the many fire pits on site, or lace up skates and twirl around in the wonder of it all! Santa (and sometimes Mrs. Claus) are waiting to meet the little ones and there are festive drinks for imbibing grownups too! We highly recommend making a night of it at the Boar’s Head Resort and making time for dinner at the Mill Room but more on that to come! 🔥 

The scenic drive through Virginia Wine Country to charming and historic Charlottesville is totally worth it! It’s just 2.5 hrs from Washington DC and about 4 hours from our home of Lancaster, PA. Planning to take the trip? Follow along for more stops and tips from our Road Trip to THIS extraordinary winter wonderland (coming soon)!

✨We are still reeling a little from the magic th ✨We are still reeling a little from the magic that was seeing our short film honored at the international red rose film festival. 
🎞️To watch our film on a planetarium screen surrounded by friends and strangers gasping and laughing along with us had us both in tears (you don’t get that kind of feedback loop when you just post on Youtube or Insta) 
🌎To have our film shown in the international film block, representing not only our city of Lancaster but our country as well,  amidst stellar international filmmakers was a dream! 
🎥To ALSO be nominated for a film award alongside local friends and giants in the industry who we admire like MAKE films, LampHouse Films and Dadley Productions had us both humbled and wonderstruck. 
♥️Thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in us~ Thank you to our friends Ryan and Alex for having this adventure with us! 
🍎 These two teacher best friends with a whole lot of creative energy and a passion for storytelling are incredibly wonderstruck and honored to be laureled filmmakers now too! 🎬
🤩If you struggle with imposter syndrome (who doesn’t?) or feel like there’s not a place for you in the arena you’ve been longing to step into, we hope it gives you a nudge to know that ordinary people live extraordinary experiences and find belonging in unexpected places when they move in love instead of fear. 
💡Make the thing you want to make because you want to make it, and see where it takes YOU! ✈️
