Day Out with Thomas

August 10, 2017August 10, 2017

When I went to Chicago last month, my Mom and I took my 3 year old nephew Mason to see Thomas the Train. He LOVES anything that moves. Trains, Planes, and Automobiles! The look on his face when he saw Thomas was priceless. I think he was so shocked by how big it was and that it was real!

They had various options to choose from. We chose ride on the train that Thomas was pulling. We also got to meet Sir Topham Hatt and take a ride on Percy! They had quite a few other activities for the kids to do as well. I would highly recommend that you get there as early as possible. The kids seemed to be fading fast … my nephew included. It was about 90 degrees outside. There were lines for everything and that is very hard to explain to a 3 year old. Mason was an absolute trooper. I highly recommend this activity but plan on it being a long day for the little one.

Dodge Dart 2016 – Product Review

February 9, 2016February 4, 2016

For the past week I have been driving a 2016 Dodge Dart around the South Florida area. I have to say that I was really not impressed with the car at all. Currently I have a 2008 VW Beetle Convertible so I knew things were going to be different but I thought I could find some cool features that my car doesn’t have.

My first impression was that everything seemed a little cheap. When wearing shorts or a dress the seat fabric actually scratches your legs. I connected my phone to the Bluetooth to take advantage of the hands free options because it said that my phone was compatible. When I tried to use it the system it couldn’t seem to hold the connection to play music or make a call.

I do understand that this is a lower model car and I was not thinking that it was going to be like a Lexus or an Audi. With that said, I do expect a little more since it is a 2016 model and it should have a newer feel to the car and cool new fabulous electronics. The rental only cost me $120 for the week but, the memory will stick with me for awhile. Next time I will choose a different car or pay for the upgrade.

After some research online I found some price specs and as I thought, this car it is at the low end of the car pricing scale. However, these days all new cars should be fun – AT LEAST FUN ELECTRONICALLY. Overall if this is your first car and you are looking for a good deal that has a factory warranty and new car smell this car will fit the bill but not much else.

Sweet Pete’s

February 5, 2016February 5, 2016

I have to admit that I am a HUGE fan of the show The Profit. I am something of an entrepreneur fanatic! When I was a kid I had to be dragged in from selling candy for whatever thing it was my school needed me to sell for them. I created Victorious Creations in grade-school. Now it is Tor’s Adventures Media. SO……I love this guy! I want him to be my mentor someday! I loved the show with Sweet Pete’s and was hoping to visit the store next time I was in Jacksonville since I have been living in Florida for the last three and a half years. I am now in Illinois and I saw on the update show that they opened a store in Lake Forest, IL …… a little north of Chicago. We were heading to the city this morning so I added the sweet stop onto our trip.

The store was everything I expected! From the smell of candy being made as we walked into the bright and cheerful store, to the taste of the salted caramel they were sampling as we walked into the door it was fabulous! I got to see the gummy bear lamp that I saw on TV. AWESOME! We bought some cupcakes, strawberry straws and some salt water caramels. The store manager was absolutely delightful and I would love to come back to take some of their classes.
