My favorite place to visit during this time of the year is the Edison and Ford Winter Estates on McGregor Boulevard. Each year, the buildings are beautifully decked out with lots of twinkling lights and historic decorations. A unique part of the experience is listening to their carolers who are dressed in attire relevant to the era of the estates.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1479408564358{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”3225″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Sheryl Bowman – Winter Fest at Naples Zoo
The Naples Zoo puts on an amazing weekend full of fun holiday festivities – perfect for the whole family!

Ave Maria Celebration of Lights is my favorite place to take the kids to get in the holiday spirit.
