Review: Devil Dawgs - Chicago

What is a Chicago Dog...that's what my son asked after seeing it on the menu at Dylan's Candy Bar. Instantly I felt bad, he doesn't know what a Chicago dog is? How had I not introduce them before?  Well, I had to rectify that situation immediately.

Review: Dylan's Candy Bar - Chicago!

                                   

Does this look like a sweet place to spend an afternoon or what?

Hanging out in Chicago has been quite a treat, so I decided to make it a delicious outing by surprising the kids with lunch and sugar at Dylan's Candy Bar, 445 N. Michigan Avenue 60611.

American Girl Place - Chicago

Welcome to every little girls baby doll wonderland, American Girl Place - Chicago. With two daughters and a couple nieces, I've visited this store more times then I would like to admit. Besides the small fortune I've spend here it's always exciting and fun for myself and the girls.

Atlanta, Georgia: Budget and Family Friendly

Welcome to Atlanta...

We took a family road trip to Atlanta, Georgia and used the CityPASS to visit some of the ATL's great attractions. Atlanta has a special place in my heart because my husband attended college at Georgia Tech and we have family and friends in the area. Although, we've been to the city many times, we wanted to make it a priority to visit attractions and do some sightseeing as a family.

First things first, I had to do some research and find deals so my family could enjoy the city while sticking to our budget. We used discount tickets to attractions as well as hotel points and dollar promotions. We eat well on our budget at inexpensive local favorites.
