      About this trip

      Experience an Old Fashioned Christmas at Mike's Farm in Beulaville.  An hour and a half drive, takes us to a successful Agri-Tourism family run farm.  Mike's Farm hosts events throughout the year with the Festival of Lights Hayride being the most popular.  This event is so popular that it took me a day and a half when they put tickets on sale to get through to the ticket office!   The evening features a 30-minute hayride accompanied by Christmas music, miles of lighted Holiday scenes and a live nativity.  We begin the the evening with time to browse the gift shop known to have some of the most unique Christmas gifts and largest collection of "Yankee Candles" in the region.  Next up, is a delicious home-cooked meal served family style.  The mac and cheese is a guest favorite.  Some claim it to be the best ever made with a secret ingredient. *Please note that alcohol is not served at Mike's Farm but you are welcome to bring along a cocktail, beer or wine on the bus for the trip there or back.  End the night with the hayride and then travel back to Compass Pointe with memories of an old fashioned festive evening "dancing in your head."

      I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty. I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit. It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll join me on a trip one day!

      This was a wonderful trip! So educational & information but in a very entertaining way. I learned so much and was very impressed by Hopsewee Plantation & all its employees! Trips by Patty did an awesome job & I look forward to many more tips with her!

      Fantastic day with excellent speakers/docents. Very educational experience at this lovely property. Food was excellent, I enjoyed the owner explaining how they came about owning the Plantation and the organizers did an excellent job keeping all participants safe, hydrated and on time with various stops. Worth every penny!

      Had a wonderful time! Loved the 2 Trips with Patty that I’ve done But it would have been nicer to spend more time in the house - upstairs and the basement. The tour guides seemed to truncate and simplify the information. It would have been better if the tour guides knew that this particular group, the St. James Vintage Ladies, were all college educated women who all love and are well versed in history. For this reason I don’t think I got the full value of the price. The lunch was fantastic! The food as well as the serving staff were wonderful. Thanks for all you do, Patty and crew!
