If you are ever in Green Bay Wisconsin and you have kids, this is the place you must go.  You can easily spend a morning there and not spend $20 (unless, of course, you head over to the food stand).  We just took our kids there, and they had a blast.  The tickets are a quarter a piece.  For the kiddie rids, you usually only needed one ticket.  Now, if you are in the need of an acne treatment (which would mean the bigger kid rides), then those usually were 2 tickets.  For rides, they have everything from the scrambler to a ferris wheel to a merry go round to bumper cars.  There really is something there for all ages and it is quite affordable.

For the last couple of weeks, we have been trying out a projector from Projector123.  Let’s just say that it has been such a big hit in our house that Bill now wants to buy one.

Can you guess the movie on the left?  It’s Cars.  That picture is on one of my walls in the basement.  We didn’t have any white walls to use, so that picture is on a blue wall.  It made it slightly darker (we shined it on the white door to see the difference).  I’ll be honest — I was impressed.  The picture was so clear and crisp.  It also was huge!  I wouldn’t have needed my contacts to see it!

Now, I didn’t take a picture of this but we set this up with our PlayStation 2.  Madison tried both Star Wars Legos and Indiana Jones Legos on here.  It was awesome. The characters were taller than Will.  He just ran up and down the wall touching the characters.  It was quite humorous to watch (and I should have video taped it but I didn’t think of it at the time!)

After the kids were in bed, Bill and I tested it out with a non-kid friendly movie.  Madison and Will’s movie were made to be crisp and clear.  How would a real movie hold up?

You should be able to guess this movie pretty easily.  I took this picture from the side to show you how movie theater like it was.  We just hooked up two speakers, and it was like being in the theater (we were just missing the popcorn).

Even though we used this for a lot of fun movie nights at my house, there are so many more uses for it.  I have seen these used at weddings, graduation parties, and memorial services that I have been too.  Its a great way to show a montage of pictures easily.  At the rate of $99 for a weekend, you can’t go wrong.  They FedEx it to you and they even give you a return label to FedEx it back!

Hotel Reservations is one of those sites you do not ever think you will need until you decide to plan a vacation. Then you are thankful that there is such an easy way to get the best deal on hotel rooms. You can even search rental cars and airfare! All you need to do is fill in a few spots with your vacation information (like when you plan to arrive and depart) and hit search. Now, all of the hotels in the area are listed with their prices (for each of the nights since weekends tend to be more expensive). They also have listed their rating (as in if they are 5 star resorts). You will find everything from a one star all the way up to 5 star resorts listed. Once you have decided on your hotel, you can look at a brief description, pictures, a list of its amenities, and area attractions. If you decide that this is still the hotel for you, you can book right from the site! I have talked to several people who have used Hotel Reservations to book hotel rooms for their vacations, and they have all been happy with their service.

Different hotels and resorts are big attraction for tourists, especially in summer season. To enjoy your holidays in a nice way several low cost vacation packages are available. To enjoy a cruise line travel on a holiday is a perfect idea. Many car dealers provide discount car rental you can also get car rental coupons, which provide you special discount on different terms and conditions. Some airlines provide free airline tickets on different schemes and lotteries to get the attention of the public.

Do you have a boat just laying around not being used anymore? Do you just not know what to do with it? Do you not want to go through the trouble of having to sell it? Boat Angel is for you then. You are able to donate your boat and get a tax deduction. They will also come to you to pick it up, so you do not have to even bother to drive it anywhere. They also take cars, planes, and RVs if you need to get rid of any of those.

The money that has been raised has made over 2,000,000 meals, funded medical operations, given supplies to schools, funded a boat angel outreach center, and has helped in world wide emergencies. These are just a few of the places that the donations have been used towards. There is quite a long list.

How does this work? First, you need to call BoatAngel at 1-800-227-2643 or you can fill out their online form. They will then send you a disposable camera for you to take a picture of your boat. They then can see the condition of it. You then return the camera, and your boat will get picked up in 7 - 14 days. Pretty easy, and it goes for a good cause.

Now that you no longer have a boat, you will definitely need to start looking at some travel deals. There are tons of vacation packages and cruise vacations all times of the year. However, make sure you look into cheap travel insurance and your
car rental before you book flights. Nothing is worse than when your flight on time turns into your flight not on time, and you are stuck somewhere.
