My 1-year-old received the Fisher Price Little People Sail 'n Float Boat for his first birthday. I was really excited to use this toy since we were in need of some new bath toys. The Sail 'n Float boat is able to be used on dry land or in water. The boat is blue with a cute yellow face. Their is a movable red fishing pole. The boat also comes with Captain Michael, a life ring, and a fis...

While in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands on a cruise we did a Doubloon sail and snorkel excursion.  This was our first excursion like this.  The kids went with us ages 10 and 11 years old.  I was a little nervous about going because I had never snorkled.  We were meet at the cruise ship by the captain of the Doubloon.  We followed him and boarded the boat and got ...

Ok, now everyone who likes to ski has heard of Wintergreen, right?  Well, where we live, it is a bit of a drive.  In fact all the ski resorts are at least 4 hours or more away.  So, my wife found this wonderful option for my daughter.  We generally give her a gift certificate each year for her birthday so she and a friend can go ski at the fabulous Wintergreen slopes!  ...

I didn't expect to see a shopping bag next to the bed when I woke up. To my surprise, it was one of my favorite Lacoste bag which I have been eyeing for sometime and my dear hubby bought me for our 12th Wedding Anniversary last January 2009.I love the bag! I love the person who gave it to me! The bag is simply adorable because it is casual and at the same time, it is made of canvass with le...

My son has wanted this Lego Star Wars Jabba Sail Barge for quite a while. The price was kind of high so I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. He received it as a gift and I have been very pleased with it. It has 781 pieces and the Sail Barge when put together measures 18 inches. The Barge includes a swiveling gun, which is a cool feature. It also comes with the Sarlacc Pit, which is a...

My husband and I took an amazing Alaskan cruise on the Mercury, a ship in the Celebrity Cruise line. It sailed roundtrip from Canada Place in Vancouver, B.C. and visited three ports: Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan. We had been to all three of the ports before, so we spent most of our Port time walking around on our own. We did catch the Lumberjack show in Ketchikan which was a lot of fun.The Mer...

I have always been skeptical of cruises with my "5000 closest instant friends" that are offered by the big cruise ships, so when an opportunity presented itself to see Alaska from a small ship, we jumped at the opportunity.  By "small ship" I am talking about cruises with 100 or less passengers in shallow drafting boats that can go where the big cruise lines can't.&...

This release by Heart has to be one of my all time favorites. I have just about every original viynl of theirs in my album collection. In fact the Dreamboat Annie album I do have is a collectors edition as well, in a picture disc. Well anyway, when I ran across this I had to grab it up. Not only are the tracks digitally remastered, so the sound is much better, but the packaging is a mini replic...

I buy a lot of books online for my busniess and for pleasure. I needed to send some books to friends in the uk. I tried Borders US a few times so tried www.borders.co.uk. Just a really good site and fast way to buy and sell books. When you buy as much as I do online, you get to really appreciate a quick and easy to use buying process (old amazon anyone???).  Only problem I found was some b...

If you are trying to decide where to go or what to do for your next vacation, I suggest that you take a cruise through the Disney Cruise Line. Since the cruise line is through Disney, this cruise of course is perfect for kids. This cruise is perfect for adults and teens too though. On each cruise ship, there are pools, a movie theatre and multiple restraunts. There are many excellent shows you ...
