Are you looking for a great way to cool off during the hot summer months? Then Ocean Breeze Waterpark Virginia Beach is your answer!
Located in Virginia Beach only a few short miles from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, Ocean Breeze Waterpark Virginia Beach is the perfect way to add some water fun to your vacation! There are rides and features for the entire family and we have been season pass holders since the boys were babies! From Buccaneer Bay for the little ones, to The Hurricane for the more daring family members, you’re sure to find something to make everyone happy! And if going down slides isn’t your thing, you can relax poolside by the giant wave pool or grab a free raft and float around the “Adventure River” which has earned a nickname from my kids as “The Lazy River” because it’s so relaxing!

During our visit to the American Girl Tysons Corner Store we stayed one night at the McLean Hilton in Tysons Corner. The hotel is gorgeous and the American Girl Package was a great option.
Getting the American Girl Package not only meant a great rate (cheaper than other discounts) but there was a complementary American Girl doll bed in the room that LuLu was able to keep. She might have 3 beds for her doll at home, but having a travel bed sure made her a happy girl!
She also received a little goodie bag with a free breakfast voucher. Additionally, the package comes with FREE shuttle service to the Tyson Corner Mall, so you don’t have to drive. It was nice to just jump on the shuttle and not have to worry about parking.

Last week I shared about our trip to the American Girl Tyson’s Corner store in DC. One of the things we did during our trip was eat at the American Girl Bistro for a late lunch.
My experience was different than many others. I read (and was told) rave reviews about the bistro. Atmosphere is awesome, food is fantastic. Well, they had the atmosphere part right.
We were pretty disappointed in the food and service. It all started with us having to wait 25 minutes after our reservation time. Mind you our reservation was at 2:30, so we were STARVING! So after waiting almost 30 minutes we finally get a table. Only to wait another 7 for someone to come to the table to take drink orders.
Okay, maybe they were super busy or I just shouldn’t have high service standards. BUT, I was still optimistic at this point…

You can find the best Las Vegas deals hotels, suites, and more, without doing a lot of work. Las Vegas is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the US, and with a little effort, you can travel in style for less than you might think. Here are some tips for finding the best hotel deals in Vegas.
Join Casino/Hotel Email Lists – Despite what many people think, not all deals are advertised on sites like Travelocity and Expedia.

Consider joining the email lists a few months before your trip so you can keep an eye out for the best deals.

There is a tab on the tourism office’s website that is dedicated to special deals. You can find sale prices on hotels as well as deals for restaurants and those famous Vegas shows.
