US Open of Surfing

It’s going to be scorching this weekend and if you are looking to cool down and do something out of the ordinary – head down to the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach. Surf City will be hosting the premier surfing competition from July 18-26. We won’t be able to make it this weekend but I’m planning on taking the kids Monday. My son loves watching surfers hit the waves and if you have surfers in your family or aspiring surfers this is the event to attend.

A last minute getaway-roadtrip and a little giveaway

I’m going to be heading for a quick roadtrip down south this weekend. This year because of the economy and changes in my job we will be skipping a traditional “vacation” and doing a little weekend getaway or two instead of a traditional week long getaway.

Country Inns & Suites by Carlson is actually providing me with two free nights and a fun roadtrip itinerary in San Diego. We will be heading down south for a quick, fun and hopefully inexpensive getaway. The roadtrip itinerary that was provided by Country Inns & Suites has us heading off to explore Balboa Park and other excursions that are inexpensive and some that are off the beaten path.

I want to pose a question to you – What’s your idea of the best last-minute vacation? I want to hear from you! Just leave your answer under comments and you will also be entered to win a family 4 pack of Angel tickets to a Big Bang Friday game.
