Mud, muck and insect-eating plants in ‘Everglades of the North’

Hearst’s colossal estate opened to public 50 years ago
SAN SIMEON, Calif. — The narrow road, flanked by endless open hills and towering trees, sharply darts from one bend to the next. It rises, as if without end, to the turrets only partially visible above the trees.

Is a trip to Rome a pontiffacation?
The Washington Post Travel section, fed up with all those niche travel experiences and their impossibly cornball names (mancations, babymoons, staycations, etc.), recently asked readers for help in exacting revenge. They did not disappoint in contributing their nominees for a Stupidcation — that is, a themed trip and the requisite cute thing to call it.
