The HolidayMoons Podcast Dreams of Places to Go!!!

In this week’s episode, we are talking about some great places to visit when the pandemic settles down. Cole begins a series on Off-brand Tourism in the United States, looking at similar, but less well known, tourist stops. The first in this series is the Crazy Horse monument, which is an active sculpture being built into a mountain near Mount Rushmore. And Sydney talks about Botanical Gardens, and why they are a great place to visit with adults and kids. And finally, Randy continues the Beach Party Movies Summer Series with the movie, Where The Boys Are. This was the movie that kicked off the Spring Break craze at the beaches, showing packed and filled beaches. Find out more on this week's episode of the HolidayMoons podcast!

Rockin' Robin with the HolidayMoons Podcast!!!

In this week’s episode, we are rockin' with the American Robin, another of our favorite birds from Beth's series on songbirds. Randy also begins a Summertime Series on Beach Party Movies, with the original beach movie, Gidget, that kicked off this entire genre. The story of a young girl who would just as soon go surfing, rather than chase boys like her friends. And, guess what? There was a real girl called Gidget whom the book and this movie are based on! And Cole looks at the cold, hard facts as to which season is actually colder - Spring or Autumn. Find out on this week's episode of the HolidayMoons podcast!

Tulip Mania, The Birthday Song, Strawberry Shortcake

What do tulips, strawberry shortcake and the birthday song have in common? They are all part of this week's episode of the HolidayMoons podcast! Continuing from last weeks tulip overview, Beth moves on to discuss the mania that swept across Europe, and the world, during the 1600s, leading to extraordinarily high prices and then the inevitable bubble burst. And now that strawberries are becoming more common in stores, we eat and discuss strawberry shortcake, the recipe that we use, and the various methods to enjoy eating it. Finally, given that is the birthday season for our family, we look at the legal battle that took place just a few years ago to move the traditional Happy Birthday song into the public domain, making it royalty free for the first time just a few years ago.

We hope that you and your families stay safe and healthy while you self-isolate!

In this week's episode, we celebrate! Our first and last segments celebrate Easter, with a focus first on the classic Easter Egg hunt, and then on how to modify your traditions in a time of self-isolation and limited direct contact with others. It takes a little thinking ahead of time, but there are lots of ideas on ways to make it work. In between these segments, we talk about how Venetians celebrated the end of the Black Plague. Something to look towards at the end of this pandemic, hopefully!

Let's Go Fly a Kite with the HolidayMoons!

This episode was delayed so that we could get our Disney trip episode out quickly, so some of the references may be a bit delayed or out of date based on the latest COVID-19 issues.

In this week's episode, we talk kite flying, thunderstorms, and the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C. Spring can be a great time to fly a kite, and we talk about the latest kite flying capabilities, a brief history of kites, and how to get started as a novice or if your kids want to participate. And kite flying can be a great socially isolated event if you can find a big field. Another springtime staple is thunderstorms. Beth gives us the who, what, where, when, and why of thunderstorms, and in a fun, fact-filled segment on these booming weather phenomenon. And, although this year's event was basically canceled, Sydney shares more about the Cherry Blossom Festival in D.C. as a future event for you to consider visiting in the Spring. Several fun Spring segments to share with you, your friends, and your family!
