The Summer Fun Guide by-date section is up! Right now it is up as a PDF as I keep running into some misbehaving code. Rather than continue to delay putting it up, it’s in PDF format, and when/if I get the kinks worked out, I’ll put it back in the usual format. I will keep [...]

Fall began yesterday and the Fall Gun Guide is now officially up! Just like its Summer companion, the Fall Fun Guide is filled with classes and events for kids and families. Some are free, some are not, but somewhere in the guide there should be something for everyone. I am always looking for new things to add to the guide, so please contact me if you know of something that you think should be on there. And please check the guide frequently. The Fall Fun Guide is “younger” than the Summer Fun Guide, so it is still maturing and is not quite as far-reaching yet — it has lots of room to grow!
It includes a list of children’s consignment sales (coming up – My Child’s Closet and Catholic Consignments), pumpkin patches and corn mazes, a list of activities by dates, classes and events, day and weekend trips, and so much more!
Go check it out and then tell all your friends about it!
Oh — and start letting me know about events you think should be included in the HOLIDAY FUN GUIDE!!

As I look at the calendar, I realize that we have less than a month left of summer vacation. If you are a “local” (such an odd phrase for a web site) have you taken advantage of the Summer Fun Guide? I wanted to point out a late addition for this weekend — Playmobil Day [...]

My husband always teases me about my Type-A ways, but as I look at my calendar, I realize that it is time for me to start planning the Fall Fun Guide now! If you didn’t receive a copy of last year’s first Fall Fun Guide in email, it is similar to the Summer Fun Guide, although a little slimmer. I hope to expand it some this year and will include it online. I cannot project the start date yet, but I am compiling information now, and would love to include you in the process! Please feel free to add recommendations of fun trips, days, activities, sites, etc. in the comments on this post, contact me via twitter, or email me.
Examples of things in the Fall Fun Guide include places to pick apples, pumpkin patches, harvest festivals, corn mazes, trunk or treat days and more.
I will begin working on updating last year’s guide and converting it to the blog format and hunting for new content. When I feel I have enough information to make it worthwhile, I will post the Fall Fun Guide, most likely in September. In the meantime, please send in those great ideas!

Ice cream, admission to The Water Mine, a game of bowling, a round of miniature golf — these are just a few of the things this year’s Fairfax County Public Library Summer Reading Program participants can get for free by completing the targets set for their age group. The program runs through September 5 and [...]

I somehow neglected to plug in any information for the 4th of July into the Summer Fun Guide — sorry about that! Basically I usually look at the Washington Post guide.
I will tell you this — we have been in NoVA for 7 years and have not had a bad experience with any show we’ve been to — the only disappointments have been torrential rains.
I would LOVE to have people comment about the shows they saw this year and their reviews so I could incorporate that into NEXT year’s summer fun guide!

For the past two years I have put together a Summer Fun Guide for my church’s women’s group (with the help of two wonderful women — thank you Cheryl, and Jami — as well as content input from lots of other women) and we have circulated it via a Word document in print and email. [...]
