The show:

The performance opened up with Mickey, Minnie and friends hosting a fun Unbirthday Party with Alice and the characters from Wonderland. Goofy and Donald offered slapstick humor that had the kids laughing out loud.

A Getaway Close to Home at the Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner

The DC area is full of transplants living far away from their families, and we’re no different.  Even though we’ve been here for over a decade, we rarely get a night away and were blessed to have the experience to spend a date night by staying overnight at the Ritz- Carlton, Tysons Corner.

Located in the bustling Tysons Corner area, The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner is a true retreat away. The hotel offers unparalleled service, and every single staff member pays attention to the finest details.  We received a hand-written note from the manager, a lovely wine and cheese delivery to our room, and the team continuously went out of their way to make sure we were having the time of our lives.

Halloween Do's & Don'ts...Plus Great Costume Buying Ideas

10/15/2013

Halloween is always such a fun time of the year.  As a child I counted the days until October 31st.  Halloween always promised a night of fun with friends that included an amazing costume (at least I thought so) and loads of candy.  What more could a child want?

My enthusiasm for Halloween waned as I grew older.  In my post college years there were a handful of parties, but they always seemed to annoy me.  Dressing up wasn't fun anymore.  Going to a costume party in my twenties seemed more like work.  Pass me a drink already...do I seriously need to be a cat for yet another year!  Where are the whiskers, tail, leggings and black turtleneck?  But...times change.

Spa Week
This is always one of my favorite times of the year.  You can have a manicure and pedicure for $50.00 or a facial for $50.00.  How about a much needed massage?

Peruse the Spa Week link and find a location near you.  I typically try to book close to home or at Lifetime Fitness where you can get free childcare during your visit to the LifeSpa.  Enjoy!
