Step Back in Time

Spend the evening pretending the electricity is out. Turn off all your electronic devices and light the house with candles. Enjoy a meal without the backdrop of music or TV. Take a walk in the magic hour that marks the transition from day to dusk. Watch your neighborhood get bathed in golden light as familiar landscapes reveal themselves anew.
