Although my kitchen is still being updated the cabinets made a huge difference for such little money.
The cabinets paint color was "Abby White" from Lowes'. If you don't have a sander already I recommend the Craftsman Mouse hand sander, it's simple.

My White Cabinets
In August 2007 I shared my kitchen refinishing cabinets experience, these are some of the after pictures I was never able to display properly.
Although my kitchen is still being updated the cabinets made a huge difference for such little money.

Butterflies In DCA
The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History located in Washington D.C. has opened its newest exhibit, Butterflies and Plants: Partners in Evolution, February 15, 2008.
This is where you walk among hundreds of live butterflies, in 1,200 square-foot pavilion with more than 400 butterflies.
If this is something you have never done it is a must. We toured a similar exhibit at the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls, Canada, which was so much fun for me and my children.
There is an admission for the pavilion with the exception of Tuesdays, which is free of charge, first come, first served policy.
This is just another great thing to do with your family in Washington.

Cinderella at Station Theatre
As a follow-up to the new at the Station Dinner Theatre, we went to see Cinderella Sunday, February 17, and thought the show was fantastic.
Not only did we laugh out loud numerous times, but I also found a lot of adult humor intertwined in the dialogue that was too funny.
The children were equally impressed with the show, and were entertained the whole time, there were numerous audience participations.
The meal was served before the show began, which was served family style with as many helpings as needed. Our meal consisted of real chicken tenders, tator tots, chicken salad croissants and a fruit and vegetable plate which was all served by a cast member, not yet dressed for their role. During intermission the cast served a basket of cookies for the table, which was exciting for the children, because now the wicked-stepmother was serving our table.
Job well done by the cast and crew at the Station Dinner Theatre.

Moon Palace Resort
Moon Palace Resort located in Riviera Maya, Mexico, is an all-inclusive resort I vacationed at for our honeymoon.
Although that was now over 7 years ago, I am itching to go back. You never need to leave the resort. This resort had everything you can imagine, nice restaurants, pool, beach, spa, night club, many bars, gift shop, outdoor water activities and golf. We had a great time.
I always recommend this resort to anyone who wants to travel to Cancun. Although you fly into Cancun, the resort is not situated on the main hotel drag in Cancun, so you don't feel you are in the hustle of tourists. The best part is you can take an afternoon and check out the sites in the City. The resort bus will transport you to any of their other all-inclusive Palace resorts free of charge, where you can also eat and drink for free. We had the bus take us to The Beach Resort on the main drag in Cancun, we then had lunch and a couple drinks before we headed into the tourist shopping areas and further into the old city where the locals hang out.
Moon Palace is next door to their sister hotel, Moon Palace Sunrise Resort, so you actually have two resorts in one, with twice as many restaurants and bars to visit, within walking distance of your room.
This resort is for those who want a combination of activities and/or to relax at the pool, beach, or bar all day. A resort that accommodates every personality.
Happy Travels.

The Thermometer
Thermo comes from the Greek for "heat" and meter from the Greek for "measure".
In the mid-1600's Ferdinand II, was the first to seal the thermometer isolating it against shifts in air pressure.
In the early 1700's Daniel Fahrenheit, a German physicist devised the temperature scale and the alcohol and mercury thermometers. The centigrade scale was devised by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius.
