Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey bring Built to Amaze! to Atlanta Feb., 5-17

I was provided with a family 4-pack of ticket in exchange for this posting. All thoughts are our own. Elephants are really cool, so are tigers, lions and bears. It was on the way out of the last Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey show that our 3 year old said, ‘can we go back to the circus tomorrow’? Ah, children and their concept of time, it’s precious. However, in real world time I knew it would be a year before they came back and we’ll see how interested he is then.

A visit to Festival of the SEAson at Georgia Aquarium

On a cold, rainy Sunday we received tickets to the Festival of the SEAson at Georgia Aquarium, featuring SCUBA Claus, the FantaSEA in Lights, Mermaid Performance and Seaside St. Nick. Not that you really have to convince our children to go see animals. This, however, was different – we were combining Santa Claus and animals – not to mention that this was the first family trip out together in at least a month, since the entire family has been sick with stomach flu, foot & mouth or colds since mid-November. To put it simply: excitement was off the charts.

Win 4 tickets to The Conjuring at a movie theater near you

The summer movie season is in full swing and somewhere in the middle of it is the horror movie, The Conjuring. The Conjuring comes to movie theaters on July 19. We’ve seen it per their terms and conditions can’t review the movie until that day. However, the film scored a massive 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and would we give away tickets to something that we willingly knew wasn’t entertaining?
