Presque Isle Erie PA

Well, since I was raised in Erie and have always had very easy access to the beach, and thus I have truly embraced the beauty of our beaches. There is nothing like it around. I have traveled to many beaches in the world, and the truth is that every where you go the people are doing exactly what you or I am could be doing with just slight variances on the weather.

Every summer I figure out which beach is the best suited for my family and usually just go to the same beach every time, this also saves me from having to explain myself every time I meet family or friends. Let it be known that all the beaches are not the same and can change from day to day. Sometimes the water can be clear at one beach and green at another,one can smell like the a "summer beach" and one can smell like some "dead fish".; so the secret here is if you come across the worst of the two, walk down a ways or get back in the car and drive to the next one. Last summer ours was Beach 8, Pettinato Beach, which always smelled of a summer beach and the water was clear and has concession stands and bathrooms, and this year? I'll find out soon. . . .

Need some time without the kids?

Here's a great idea complete with free babysitting. Go to the grocery store! My husband and I have had many free dates, and some quality time with each other, walking around the grocery store. We have so far used the W-Kids Fun Center at the Wegman's store on Peach St., and two Giant Eagle Eagle's Nest. Giant Eagle on upper Peach and the store on West 12th Street. Children must be 3 years old to use these facilities, and you obviously have to stay in the store.

I have found it's easier when you both grab a shopping cart and it's a fun way to shop and stay connected. The secret here is when you look around you really don't have to do the suspected. You can just have a cup of coffee and just sit there and relax for a moment and not feel guilty.

Eagles Nest 12th street location hours:
M-Sa 1030-7p
Su 1000-6p
Eagles Nest Peach Street location:
M-Sa 1000-8p
Su 1000-p
Wegmans Hours

p.s. It's fun alone too!

Don't U Wanna Come? 3121

Well here it is, 2 days after the Prince show at club 3121 in the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and the show was by far the best show I have been to..Prince is quite the artist. He came out from behind his band in a great yellow suit that only he could wear so well and made a change into his classic purple suit. He played some of his best songs which included: ( in no particular order)
3121
Musicology
Purple Rain
On the Couch
Lolita
Cream
Nothing compares to you
Emale
Human Body

I am still comprising the song list..
Going into the night, the one and only concern was the "upscale nightclub attire" dress requirement; although it wasn't enforced to my expectations, I really took the time and dressed up for the event..Long sleeved beige/ gold shimmery just above the knee dress with big brushed silver earrings, and cream open toe leather wedges..perfect for the occasion I felt great. The secret here is, if you feel good you look great.

My husband truly understands, and appreciates Prince on a whole new level.

prince in concert

I am going to see Prince..we are seeing Prince on 23 mar 07...

My secret here is that I was on Ticketmaster.com twice a day, until I got the tickets and ended up getting them for the cheapest going rate.
