Hi, I am looking to purchase a gift card for a family who live in Cary. Where do families shop in this town? They have 3 kids, so although I am looking for the food store with the best prices, also want it to be clean and good meat and produce. I know Trader Joes and Whole Foods are there, but...

Thank you very much! Cocoa Beach sounds like the place to go. Are the waves big? My son has his heart set on buying a skim board. Would he be able to use one there? Any one know of chairs/umbrellas that you can rent at Clearwater beach? :goodvibes

We will be in Disney next week. So excited! We are flying down and will be renting a car and are thinking of driving either to Clearwater or CoCo beach for a day trip. Just realized that we won't have beach chairs or an umbrella. Any one know if there are any beaches where you can rent beach...

Thank you all so much for the great tips advice. We are all really looking forward to it. Maybe we'll even try the "Kitchen Sink"! :)

We are spending a day at Epcot in August and I thought it would be fun to take my kids to Beaches & Cream for lunch. Is this doable by walking. I heard the entrance to B&YC is near FutureWorld? Is that right. Are we wasting time doing this in the middle of the day. Or would we be better to...

Disneystar65: I sent you a PM. :goodvibes

We also did college visits last summer and stayed at the Country Inn & Suites in Fallsview. It worked out well. It is hard to stay budgeted at Niagara Falls, everything is very expensive, but you can try. We ate at Mick & Angelo's (Lundy's Lane) and Applebees (Victoria Avenue). They weren't...

Because I buy banans each week there are always a few that get brown and I use them to make muffins. I use this low fat banana bread recipe and no one knows the difference. Here goes: LOW FAT BANANA MUFFINS Makes 12 servings Ingredients 1 cup...

We did exactly the same thing last summer. We visited two colleges, then headed to Niagara Falls for 3 nights. We stayed at the Country Inn & Suites on Victoria Avenue (within walking distance to the Clifton Hill area and the falls). No view, but the hotel was very nice, new and clean, and...

When we took our family to Washington D.C. this past April we found a sandwhich chain called Potbellies. The sandwhiches were very good and prices were very reasonable. Unfortunately, although we had seen the name in our travels, we didn't venture in until the last day of our trip. I think...

We too are a family of 4. I try very hard to stay within a budtet of $100 per week on our groceries. I cut coupons and only buy sale items. Still it is really more like $125 per week. We have been trying to eat healthier, fresh fruits and vegetables and only whole grain pasta one time per...

In summer of 2006, DD & I were visiting Chicago and we got tickets to Putnam County Spelling Bee through the lottery. They held the lottery at the Barnes & Noble (I think near Michigan Ave). They were for two tickets and we paid $25 each. The tickets were in the front row and we were on the...

We have stayed at Willow Valley and found it very nice. Another place that we felt is just as nice, and less expensive is Bird in Hand Family Inn, in Bird in Hand, PA. They have lots of amenities, activities and three pools (two inside and one outside)

Thank you java! We called and tried the things they said...still not working. So they gave us info to send it back. I was worried that there would be a 60 day warranty, but you are right, it is 1 year. We will be sending it back tomorrow. They estimated about two weeks! We will survive....

We bought DS Wii for christmas last year. All of sudden it is not reading any of the games. Started by not reading Guitar Hero, then the rest of them. We did not buy the extended warranty. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. He is walking around like he lost his best friend...

Thanks to everyone for the great input! I am going to price out going to each attraction without buying a pass. I definitely want to do Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, Butterfly Conservatory & get passes to People Mover. Maybe the Imax movie? I will see how it prices out individually...

You have all been so helpful with tips for Niagra Falls. So, here I go again... We are visiting Niagra Falls in August. Staying on the Canadian side. I am not sure which pass I should get (or if I should get one at all?) We want to ride Maid of the Mist and a see few other attractions. We...

Thank you all for your great advice! I think I am going to go with the reservation I made at Country Inn & Suites on Victoria Avenue (breakfast included) and skip Sheraton on the Falls (indoor water park) and do all the suggestions you've made. I checked the adventure pass and is is about $43...

I have booked that hotel for August. It got great reviews on Tripadvisor and breakfast is included. Do you feel like you missed anything by not having a "falls view?" My kids are 16 & 10. Thanks!
