Universal Studios was one of the many places we visited while in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area. Although we perceived it to be more of a theme park than an actual studio, it does provide you with a glimpse (although glamorized) of the process of filming...including various special effects used, and certain sets and props (we saw the cars from the Fast and the Furious and part of the Notting Hill set, to name a few). As a theme park, it was fun...particularly if you are into movies, but even if you aren't, the rides are fun and interesting.

Not worth the money

We were really unimpressed with the Underwater Adventures attraction at the Mall of America. It was rather expensive, yet did not seem to provide much variety or much to see in comparison with other aquariums. We also were expecting a tour guide rather than just listening to a recorded tour on headsets, which made the tour less personable. We did enjoy the hands-on piece of the exhibit, but will definitely not go back for a second time.

Valleyfair is a great time for people of all ages, even if you don't like roller coasters. They offer a great water park with a fairly good selection of water slides and activities, although the lines can be long at times. There is an Imax theater that features various entertaining shows. Overall, the price is fairly reasonable for a full day's worth of activities, and I would highly recommend it for a summer day.

We have brought our car into Lehman's Garage on numerous occasions and always have a great experience. Their customer service is excellent, they are less expensive than national brands, and their inspections and repairs are top-notch. Their mechanics are excellent, and we always request a particular one whenever we bring in either of our cars there. If anyone is looking for a reliable yet inexpensive mechanic that you will "tell you like it is" and not try to upsell you or suggest repairs you don't need, I highly recommend Lehman's.

Walt Disney World, although it somewhat loses its charm when you revisit it at an older age, is one of those attractions that you can return to numerous times. There is an abundance of activities and things to do...and numerous parks to visit. We easily could have spent more than a week there...just visiting the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM Studios, and the Animal Kingdom. It will always be one of our favorite attractions, and we will definitely be returning to visit it again!

When our brother came to visit us, we decided to take him to The Lounge in the Warehouse District, even though we had not yet been there. It has a very trendy and hip atmosphere. The people that tend to gravitate here are interesting and fun, so it is a great place just to people watch. You do have to dress appropriately, but that just makes it even more of a unique experience. If you haven't yet been there, I would highly recommend it.

Google is one of the best search engines...and continually improves itself, with added local services, email, calendar, personalized start page, images, shopping engine, and much more. Although I use other search engines for other purposes, Google is continually my tried and true favorite to locate just about anything. You do have to be careful in the reliability of the websites returned, but other than that, Google is a comprehensive search engine with great retrieval abilities!

You can always count on Barnes and Noble to provide a good selection of books, videos, and other items, as well as a fun, cozy and relaxing atmosphere. There are comfortable chairs to read in or just to sit in while you are finding a good book. There is also a little snack bar with good coffee to get while you are enjoying browsing through books and videos.

The Purpose-Driven Life is an amazing book and it is definitely a top seller for more than one reason! This book is very inspirational and I ended up purchasing copies for many of my friends and family. Rick Warren has a talent for writing and for getting his message across in a simplistic yet powerful manner. There are 40 chapters, and even though I purchased this book over a year ago, I still have not yet read them all...the chapters should be read slowly, one at a time, and I find myself re-reading many of them. I highly, highly recommend this book!

Little Women is a classic favorite -- for myself and for many other readers. I first read it in elementary school, and find myself re-reading it frequently. The story itself is timeless and endearing, and I will definitely be buying it for my children to read. The book tells the life of four girls and their parents, and painlessly stresses the importance of family values.
