My family and I enjoy camping during the summer months, and we have camped for years. We have a trailer that we stay in, but my son is old enough now to stay in a tent next to our trailer. He usually brings a friend along on camping …

Coleman Rechargeable LED Lantern
I was given a Coleman Rechargeable LED Lantern for Christmas and I absolutely love it. Even though I didn’t purchase it, it can be bought at Walmart for $34.88 which is an extremely good price for this light. It has come in handy more often than I ever thought …
Scotty Cameron Kombi Putter
This is the first time I’ve ever seen the Scotty Cameron Kombi putter.
Honestly, I had no idea that Scotty Cameron made mallet putters and trust me this is a huge mallet putter.
It really looks like they took the Star Trek Enterprise, stuck a grip and shaft on it, and …
Bertha Brock Park Ionia MI
There is a little something for everyone at Bertha Brock Park, located in quiet Ionia, Michigan. The town leaves a little to be desire, sporting nothing more than a few chain stores such as Meijer, Kmart and Walmart, and is desperately lacking in that many of its business are …
Catoosa Fall BSA Camporee
This year the Catoosa Fall BSA Camporee was held at the Genesis Check in station on Wildlife Lane in Cumberland County, TN. We had a smaller amount of troops attend this year because of a canoe camp at the Pelissippi Lodge that fell the same weekend. The theme of …

MacRitchie reservoir
This weekend I went to MacRitchie reservoir as a family. Good place for a walk. Very calm surrouded by water with good and clean pathways. It is the oldest reservoir in Singapore completed in 1868.
This is a forest area with mokeys jumping from one tree top to …

It had been years since I stepped into the cool blue waters of Blue Springs and when my favorite travel relative invited me to par take in a day’s adventure, the kid in me couldn’t resist.
The drive up to High Springs was about thirty minutes and like all …
Adventureland Island Water Park, Tampa Bay, Florida
Traveling to the center part of Florida is a common thing for me, but I rarely find myself traveling to the western side of Central Florida. Basically, the Tampa Bay area. I’m not a huge fan of Bush Gardens, so I’m not really up to date on newer rides …
Mirabilandia
I just came back from Ravenna, Italy where there is yet another great thema park, Mirabilandia. I gotta say that compared to Gradaland this was a tad funner from the rides point of view but less fun from the atmosphere.
There are 3 major rides, An upsidedown rollercoster (similar to …
Knott’s Berry Farm
I recently took the most fun trip to Los Angeles. I spent nearly a whole day with my sister at a theme park called Knott’s Berry Farm. While there, I rode roller coasters, watched and old west skit show, got some old fashioned jewelry, had caricatures drawn …
Melrose Park The Burbs
As suburban cities go, it is okay.The neighborhood is quiet and safe for kids.Where I live has many parks and playgrounds for the kids.Never see the kids use them and I just can’t understand that.
In the city of Chicago they don’t have the nice playgrounds with new equipment and …
Zoo Atlanta

Nan Lian Garden Hong Kong
Nan Lian Gardens is a quaint little public park in the middle of the New Territories. It’s a bit far, especially since I’m based in Hong Kong Island. While going there is convenient enough via the MTR, I have to take three trains to get there.
Despite the long commute, …
The Kingslander
The Kingslander in Kingsland has a very good reputation and a lot of my friends go there on a regular basis so I was expecting good things from it.

The parking lot is large and easy …
Havana Club Rum Aged 7 Years
Havana Club Rums are, in my opinion, in a class of their own when it comes to rum. I usually drink them straight, because they are good enough to drink without a mixer, and I also do mix them in rum drinks at times, but they do not need …
The Spa Acropolis
The Spa is one of the few health and fitness places here in the Philippines. Its first branch opened in Libis a long time ago and now the success of the business has translated to more branches elsewhere.
Aside from offering its range of spa services, The Spa Acropolis also …

Canoe Grumman Marathon

The first thing that I love about these canoes …

September last year when we decided to have a trip to Niagara Falls.And because we got two little kids we opted to look for more family fun adventure rather than just sight seeing.

Legos: Off Road Fire Rescue Set #7942
I like my Lego Off Road Fire Rescue Set #7942 that I recently purchased. It is a nice little set of 131 bricks and comes with one mini figure. The truck itself is probably the weak link of the set mostly because it does not have …
Tregembo Animal Park
This is one of North Carolina’s oldest zoos. It has been around for over 50 years. It is family owned and a little small , but the animals look well taken care of and happy. Some of the bigger animals are in small cages which I’m not a big …
Jardine’s Lookout Hiking Trail Hong Kong
Hong Kong offers hiking trails of various levels. One of the easiest that I’ve gone to traverses Jardine’s Lookout and Mount Butler in Hong Kong Island.
This hike is thoroughly pleasant for a number of reasons. First, the trailhead is accessible via bus which leaves from the Central terminal. Second, …
Goodlife Fitness Center
A few months back a friend and I were approached in the Atlantic Superstore to try a free gym day at the new Goodlife Fitness Center located on the second floor. Goodlife have recently made a big splash in the fitness arena, and there gyms are popping up all …
Mission Ridge snowboarding spot Saskatchewan
If you are looking for a snowboarding spot in Saskatchewan I absolutely do not recommend visiting Mission Ridge. You are likely to randomly find better hill’s to snowboard on driving on the highway than you are at this location. Takes probably 6-9 minutes getting up the hill and 30 …
Freedom Surf and Spa Shop on LBI
Every summer I love to take a week of vacation and go down to Long Beach Island in New Jersey. In the summer of 2008, I had a back ache and saw this relatively new spa on the island. The name of the spa is, “Freedom Surf …
Detroit Zoo Membership
Have you ever noticed it always seems like a membership to something like the zoo cost so much? Or the tickets always seem reasonably priced, but when you have a family of 4 it gets worse. This makes it hard to do anything as a family.
Last week renewed my …
Madison’s Children Museum
If you are anything like me then you love finding activities/outings for your kids that are both educational and fun. Let me tell you, the Madison Children’s Museum is a wonderful place where your kids can have just that sort of experience. I try to take my kids …
Singapore Katong Swimming Complex
Being in tropical, sunny island Singapore, it is not surprising to see many locals head down to the myriad swimming complexes in the neighbourhood. To find a swimming complex which is not crowded is virtually impossible. My husband said that the one at Katong is less crowded, so we …
Giro Omen ski/snowboard helmet
When looking for a helmet for snowboarding and skiing, I quickly found out that there is a huge variety to choose from. I pretty quickly narrowed it down to the brand Giro.
Giro as well has a ton of different helmet, I decided on the Giro Omen in Titanium …
Nike SasQuatch Sumo Iron Set
My friend let me try his set out and I must say I am not a big fan.
Usually I am a big proponent of anything Nike. I personally own their victory red set and I have their gloves, shoes, etc but they really missed the ball with this set.
First, …
Lake Tapps Sumner, WA
This is the place to hangout in the summertime for all the local young kids. The lake is beautiful and very large, great for boaters who enjoy water-skiing, wakeboarding, jet-ski’s, and many other water activities. It is not a fishing lake, it is VERY crowded during warm summer months …
The Quarrow Fly Rod; 9′ 7wt. 3 Pc.
Two years ago I purchased a Quarrow 7wt. 3 piece fly rod to replace a much more expensive rod that was broken. The rod is cosmetically the equal of the rod that it replaced. The hardware and the finish of the Quarrow rod is comparable to rods costing ten …
Windows Live Messenger
Windows Live is an alternative to MSN messenger and has alot more features than the standard Windows messenger.
I like the fact that Windows Live supports voice, as well as video calling, and computer to phone calling.
One thing that I do not like about Windows live, however, is that …
Pickerington Ponds Winchester OH
What a delightful place to go relax and watch nature. Why? Pickerington Ponds is so quiet, isolated (most people don’t know it exist) and so undisturbed. Most metro parks are so noisy and crowed that most of the wildlife seem to hide or stay unnoticed. But if you’re a …
