Disneyland Paris
I went to Disneyland Paris with my family for a four day holiday in the December month just before Christmas. It was a special treat for our two children for Christmas. This is a smaller version of the American Disney World Park in Orlando, Florida. We …
Six Flags
We went to Six Flags Maryland last year because my husband’s company rented the whole place for the annual family fun event that they give their employees as a treat. So our tickets were free and we were managed to bring along a couple more friends for free too. …
The Myrtles Plantation
I grew up not too far from this infamously haunted plantation, though I did not visit it until recently when I took the mystery tour with a few friends.
I am not a superstitious person. And I recognized, during the tour, that the “strange noises we were hearing upstairs” …
WWE Royal Rumble 2007 DVD
I always look forward to the Royal Rumble, the 2007 edition was no exception. Let’s get on to the match reviews.

—2nd: Lashley …
FYI Zone
When we first noticed the FYI Zone at the Heritage Mall in Beaver Dam WI, we thought it was going to be overly expensive for what it had to offer. But, our daughter really wanted to go there so we gave in and gave it a try.
We’ll be going …
Houston Rodeo & Livestock Show
Went to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo last night at Reliant Park. I’m really not much into cows, horses, petting zoos, carnivals, and country music, but attending will likely leave you with an “impression” of life in Texas.
One thing I found interesting was the “day in a …
Wild Waves and Enchanted Village Theme Park
Washington state definately lacks in the theme parks department. Wild Waves and Enchanted Village is the only one within the entire state, although it is owned by Six Flags it really doesn’t compare or live up to most of the Six Flags out there. It’s a waterpark and amusement …
Le Grande Cirque - Adrenaline - Acrobatic Show
This is one show that I will never forget. I am amazed at how skilled and talented these acrobatics really are. This is a fun two hour show that will get your heart racing. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves along with every one else in the audience. This …
Buzz Club Chicago
Last night I went to The Buzz. Now that’s a place worth trying! Located in the trendy river area north of chicago it is definitely a happening spot. Everything from the line to crowd was good. The only thing was that the entrance was supposed to be free with …
Mind Seizure Haunted House in Colorado Springs, Colorado
In the Springs you hear lots and I mean lots of advertising for this haunted house, so I assumed it might be a good Halloween spirited event. Being that I have never been that into the holiday and the fact that I scare super and I mean super easy …
Disney on Ice Presents a Disneyland Adventure
We arrived at First Mariner Arena in Baltimore about 30 minuets before the show was going to start. The cold February wind blowing, chilling us to the bone as we made our way from the train to the arena. On our way to our seats there were dozens of …
Pursuit of Happyness
This wasn’t Will Smith’s best performance, certainly not compared to the dramatic fireworks of say, Fresh Prince of Belair. That’s unfair. The movie wasn’t terrible, in fact, it wasn’t even bad. The hype before the movie, the promotion, the talk shows, all led you to believe that this might …
Ghatti Town in Greenville SC
I recently decided to take my children to Ghetti -Town in Greenville SC. I wanted to find something new and fun for them to do. They were always saying that their friends went to Ghetti -Town so I decided to give it a chance. I looked …
Eurovision 2009
Saturday afternoon.I waited patiently for the hours to pass so that I can finally watch Eurovision Song Contest with my boyfriend.
Time passes and finally the show starts.What lights,what glamour,what sceneries all around. And the I was waiting for my country Greece to appear on stage.And finally there he was: …
Dodge County Historical Society Museum
I’ve been to a few historical society museums in the past several years and found most to be boring and incomplete. But, the one here in my home town of Beaver Dam actually isn’t half bad.
Located down town in the old library building (a piece of history in itself), …
Momma Mia
Momma Mia, momma mia, momma mia, what a show! While I could have done without the singing, although since its based on a broadway musical I guess that was to be expected, the story line was delicious!
Meryl Streep was, as Donna Sheridan, although not her best performance, very much …
Jersey Boys In Las Vegas
Jersey Boys was the biggest production I saw when I went to Las Vegas. The posters for it call it the number one rated show in Vegas. I don’t know if I agree with that, but it was like seeing a full Broadway production in the middle of Sin …
Dodge County Fair
For some people, the end of summer is Labor Day weekend. For me, its the Dodge County Fair in Beaver Dam, WI.
The great thing, for me, about the Dodge County Fair is its one of the very few family-oriented events around this area in that there is something for …
Jeff Dunham, Spark of Insanity
Jeff Dunham has recently come out with a DVD of his comedy central special, Spark of Insanity. This comedy DVD is absolutely hilarious. Jeff Dunham is a ventriloquist, and he does it very well. The different dolls he uses are ingenious; each doll is different, and …

Bourbon Street West Montreal
If you are going on a trip to Montreal, here is a little place you might want to explore: Bourbon Street West. With its New Orleans style, Bourbon Street will certainly keep you entertained on the weekend. Even though the location is not the best, as it is nestled …
Krushnai Water World Pune
Saturday (05-April-2008) evening I was looking no less than a monkey with red cheeks and nose. However, the fun, the enjoyment, the excitement, and the superb day that had gone behind this was really worth it. I never knew that Rs. 300/- would give me so much fun. The …
Swinging Hall, Sofia, Bulgaria
I am adoring jazz. Actually I adore all music from classical type to the country music. I am sure that with the help of music one can show all the feelings and thoughts to the other people. But for my strong consideration only jazz has the most …
Hollywood Theatre (movie theatre)
The Hollywood Theatre is one of those places that you see as you go by, but never quite remember that it is there until you actually experience it. It’s awesome - one of those retro experiences. Even the sign out front is from the 1930s.
There is a single screen, …
Playhouse Disney Live
When we saw the ad for Playhouse Disney Live, we thought that would be a great show to take all of our children to. Granted, our 8 year old is really out of those types of shows, but preferred seeing that to the Wiggles one more time. …
Birthday Party at Mr. Biggs
We had our son’s Birthday party at Mr. Biggs this year and let me tell you it was nothing short of a disaster. The party is $99 for Little Big Town on Fridays, and after we added additional food for the adults, the party came to about $200. Now …
Dollywood’s Splash Country in Pigeon Forge, TN
Dollywood’s Splash Country is a lot of fun for the whole family. The lazy river is enjoyable to float and relax in the sun as long as it’s not busy. When the park is busy it is hard to find an available floats, people who are trying to paddle …
Michael C. Carlos Museum
This museum is spectacular. Delightfully anachronistic and mind-numbingly boring, the Carlos Museum stole my heart. I’m not sure why, but I simply love it there… most of the exhibits (the Ancient Americas in particular) are really fairly bad, as they just contain some old pottery (cool, if you are …
Fantasy Fest Key West
I went to Fantasy Fest in Key West several years ago with three buddies of mine from work. It was a blast! It’s kind of like a smaller-scale Mardi Gras. The entire island of Key West is only about six miles long, so of course it has to be …
Hatfield Square Student Hangout Spot
Now this place was one of the most popular hangout spots during my time at the University of Pretoria and I speak for a whole lot of people in saying that it is ideally situated (right next to the campus) and although a bit heavier on the pocket than …
Coco Festival Philippines
Every year, as part of the city’s fiesta celebration, the City of San Pablo in Laguna, Philippines holds a week long festival called The Coco Festival.

If you are in Baltimore and would like to experience some of culture please stop by the Maryland Science Center. Go to the inner harbor and walk around and take in the ambieance of the place. Stop one of the water taxi’s and take a short …
Jon and Kate plus 8 on TLC
I started watching Jon and Kate plus 8 one Monday evening when I was channel surfing. Jon and Kate plus 8 immediately caught my attention because of the large family. The show is a reality show based on Jon and Kate and their eight children. The …
Queens Ice and Bowl, Bayswater, London Horrible Experience
This weekend my partner’s sister came to visit us in London. The three of us decided to go ice-skating on Sunday. My partner is not a huge ice-skating fan and for that reason only, we have chosen to go to The Queens Ice and Bowl.
We phoned the place …
Swan City Car Show (2009)
This weekend is the annual Swan City Car show at Swan City Park in Beaver Dam, WI. And, as a father and soon to be father again, I am looking forward to it.
A few years ago, I was working as a newspaper reporter for a small paper in Portage, …
World Wrestling Entertainment
Since I was five years old, I am already aware of the World Wresting Entertainment or Federation as it was back then. Every Wednesday, I’d wait for my dad to come home at 10:30 in the evening and we’ll watch it in Channel 13.
Big names back then were …
Spamalot
We went to see Spamalot, which is a Broadway Musical, but we didn’t go to see it on Broadway - we saw the Canadian version, which is the same musical with a different cast.
Other than a few minor technical difficulties, it was a great show. I think people …
Criss Angel Believe - Cirque du Soleil Show
When I went to see Criss Angel Believe at the Luxor I though I was going to see a show with a well stablished storyline, full with ilussions from both Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil. The show is presented as a exploration of what’s inside Criss Angel’s mind, …
NASCAR - 2009 North Carolina Education Lottery 200 Race
The Camping World Truck Series continued after a few off weeks with the 2009 North Carolina Education Lottery 200 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Qualifying had been rained out, so they lined up by owner’s points which gave Kyle Busch the pole.
Early on, Busch lost his lead and then …
The Ellen Degeneres Show
I first learned about Ellen Degeneres tv program when my daughter and I were in Madison, Wisconsin four years ago and she was watching her. After that trip, I have been her fan and have been watching her daily shows …
Amazing Jakes Mesa Arizona
Amazing Jakes, located at 1830 E. Baseline Rd., in Mesa Arizona is not at all what it claims to be. I agree that there is plenty of food and entertainment spread throughout this oversized warehouse, but I was completely disappointed when I recently spent a day there with …
SDC Branson
Just returned from SDC Branson, and the thing that stood out the most was the rudeness of some of the employees. Not all, but enough to make us think twice about going back. There were tram drivers yelling at people, ex. “No kids on the outside! Don’t even TRY …
Walt Disney World’s Blizzard Beach
While there used to be three water parks at Disney World in Orlando Florida, only two remain, but they are some of the best in the whole state. And each one has its own special theme behind it. Blizzard Beach is the second water park and its basic theme …
