Family Trip Deals

I took my kids to Utah a couple of weeks ago because it looks like I am moving there soon for a job. While there, we went to the North Ogden Aquatic Center, and I have to say that it was a hoot!

If you’re ever in North Ogden or nearby (north of Salt Lake City), I’d highly recommend you go! I plan to buy a season pass if I can afford it once we get settled in. It was so much fun!

About the Aquatic Center

A sparkling example of clean family entertainment during the hot summer, the newly-opened North Ogden Aquatic Center sports two water slides, two diving boards and a water-filled childrens’ jungle gym the kiddies are sure to enjoy for hours.

Bowery rentals are on a first come first served basis so be sure to call ahead for your family or corporate gatherings.

My kids particularly enjoyed the “river”, a place where there is a current and you can float around in a circle for hours on end. The waterslides were fun as well. There are slides for all ages, and a separate pool for toddlers with little slides for them as well.

I was reading an article on how to make your European vacation more affordable and thought I’d share it with you.

A snippet from the article:

“Whatever country you’re in, the locals are usually too smart to buy into the internationally-known, high-priced hot spots such as Capri or Provence. You’ll get a better bang for your buck if you find out where countrymen take their vacations. Just be sure to go at a different time of year!

“For example, in Italy several years ago, a friend rented a villa just south of the Amalfi Coast, along the lesser-known Cilento Coast of the Mediterranean. There we found lovely low-priced fishing villages such as Maria Di Castellabate, and Acciaroli, where Hemingway once visited. Prices were much lower, we were the only Americans there, and we could easily drive up the coast to see the hilltop towns such as Positano without paying the sky-high prices. Since Italians vacation in August, we went in June and skipped the crowds.”
