Halloween is celebrated virtually everywhere. It's one of America's favorite holidays. Children (and even adults) dress up as whomever they like, people decorate houses to look haunted, and everyone carves at least one pumpkin during the season.
Cape Cod is no exception, and there have even been rumors that Cape Cod is one of the most haunted regions in New England. Not only is it a vacation hot spot, it has more than 400 years of history linked to it, along with paranormal events on land...and in the ocean.

The History of the Sonoma Valley, California's Wine Industry
The Sonoma Valley, located in Sonoma County, California, is known for primary one thing: wine.

Sonoma Valley is home to 183-year-old vines and has stood the test of time.Some wineries, in fact, survived the impact of prohibition in the early 20th century.
