Eat, Eat, Eat Local!

Local bites, drinks, anything that you can consume. This is coming from someone who only eats out once a week - so I try to make it worth it!

Cold drinks, hot food, good prices. We love going here after a lake day - or even just because. The service is great, they have great food - it's bar food obviously but I would rather drive here than most places in town - hands down!

I LOVE this spa! My husband and I did a couples massage a few months after I found out I was pregnant with my second child and it was so relaxing. We went early to soak in the tub, relaxed in the waiting room enjoying chocolates, and infused water. I...

This is a Saturday morning staple for my family during the summer! We get the kids up and go. Grabbing breakfast burritos from the Ochoa's food stand, picking up fresh bread for the week, grabbing fresh produce as the season changes. We love the loca...

OMSI is so much fun! For adults and children alike. I do prefer going early in the morning or on days when kids are in school just because with everything there is to touch, I'm sure my kids will touch it and we'll go home with a sickness we didn't w...
