    Sunshine Getaway at Windsor Hills?

    Has anyone stayed at Sunshine Getaway at Windsor Hills? I'm a little leery of booking directly with an owner, but it has good reviews on TripAdvisor. Just wondered if anyone here has stayed there and what your experience was? Thanks!

    We'll be visiting both water parks in mid-August. Any tips for shady spots with lounge chairs to claim for the day? We'd like a place in the shade to leave our cooler and hang out and read and relax during the day.

    Let's talk Treadmills

    I bought a NordicTrack treadmill from Sears two years ago, and it is the ONLY piece of exercise equipment I've ever owned that I actually use. I run 2-3 miles 3-4 times a week on it. I like that it feels very stable when I run, and the feature I could not live without is the built-in fan.
