Aquatica SeaWorld's Waterpark in Orlando…     by Cindy Schultz - Jul 27th, 2010
A few weeks ago my family attended the Splash Up at Aquatica. We have never been to Aquatica so we were very excited to check out this waterpark. Aquatica is SeaWorld’s waterpark, and it is located across the street from SeaWorld Orlando. This one-of-a-kind waterpark is home to some of the world’s most thrilling water rides, featuring 36 slides, six rivers and lagoons and more tha… read full review here

Rapids Water Park in South Florida     by Jill Baran - Jul 13th, 2010
We recently spent the entire day at the Rapids Water Park in West Palm Beach and had the best time! The park opened at 10 and we arrived just after 11am. To say we had fun was an understatement, especially when nobody wanted to leave at the 7pm closing time. I was most impressed at the selection of activities and slides, this truly is a larger park than I expected. Cleanliness was apparent as was … read full review here

LaSpada's Famous Hoagies - Review     by Jill Baran - Aug 20th, 2009
No trip to Ft. Lauderdale is complete without a stop at this one of a kind sandwich shop now located in three Ft. Lauderdale locations! Labeled the "best damn hoagies in town" for good reason ... Originating in Chester, PA, they have been serving South Florida since 1973. It's not just a great hoagie you get, it's the experience you have when you walk in the door. Reminding me of Tom… read full review here

Kids Rock Music Class Parent Review: Kids Rock Music Class     by Jennifer Ford Berry - Apr 8th, 2009
The benefits I have found with bringing my 2 year old daughter to Kids Rock are boundless! From the moment class begins until the very last activity my daughter Haylee is energized and learning to her full capacity. The individual introductions at the beginning of class helps the children motivate socially and builds their confidence in a group, knowing Mom or Dad is there but they made this… read full review here

This Saturday my two year old son and I attended The Wiggles Wiggly Circus. The show was at the Rosemont Theatre which is easy to get to, with easy to access parking and the place is really nice. Inside the theater is cozy and I'm pretty sure there weren't any truly bad seats. But we had AMAZING seats. With no food or drinks allowed in the theatre you're safe from wandering snocone and popcorn… read full review here
