Ten reasons why you would want to visit Virgina Beach

I am in need of a vacation!  Are you???

How about a fantastic trip to Virginia Beach!!!  Many of you know I live in Wisconsin so I would prefer to leave the state and see the amazing ocean and I think Virginia Beach would be a great place for me and my wonderful family.  

Here are my top 10 reasons why I want to go to Virginia beach and why you should too:
1. Stress-Everyone needs to get out of the daily grind and have time to re-energize away from home. What a great way to relax then to go fishing on a pier, soak your toes in some sand, and eat some yummy food!  :)   

2.  Build a sandcastle!  My daughter loves the sand and I know we could build one magnificent castle. 

3. The Virginia Aquarium would be a perfect day outing with our family of four.  I love learning about  all the animals of the sea and my daughter has shown a big interest in fish and turtles, but what is more exciting is the whale watching!  HOW COOL!  :) 

4. I know I can convince my hubby to go to Virginia beach when I say "SURFING LESSONS."  I think I will stay on shore with camera in hand and get some great photos of him learning the waves.  

5. A kayak adventure with dolphins!  I AM SOLD!  I have always loved dolphins so this would be an awesome adventure in my book.  

6. A visit to the National Aviation Monument, Francis Land House, or take one of the History Tours.  I think this would be a neat way to teach my daughter about our history.   Virginia Beach has a lot of history and I want to teach my kids about our history.  

7. One of the first dates that my husband and I had was hiking.  I think taking a hike up one of the trails at First Landing State Park or climbing up Old Cape Henry Lighthouse would bring back some memories of old past memories.  

8. GO PARA-SAILING!  That would be a brand new adventure that we have never done.  I am all for trying new adventures.  I think this would be a great hubby n wife date while on vacation!

9. Visit Mount Trashmore Park for the kids to have some fun.  It is a must to visit a playground when you have young kids.  

10.  No vacation is a vacation until you hit up a water-park!  I think our family would have a great time visiting Ocean Breeze Water-park, going down water-slides and swimming is a vacation must.

I could probably find 10 more reasons why I want to visit Virginia Beach but I think I will stop writing my list and start saving money in our vacation fund!  :) I love when I can find a vacation spot that has so many things to offer...especially for a family.  :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...
