Comfest and Kids – Going on *Their* Time

By on June 25, 2010 in Music, Play Outdoor, Summer, Theater

Have a great time at Comfest with your kids and take my advice – go early! Last year I did not choose the right time of day to go with my two babes, and swore off ever going again. We arrived downtown at 4pm, but given that it was the Saturday of Comfest it took [...]

To Market To Market to Buy a Fat…Rooster?

To Market To Market to Buy a Fat…Rooster?

The North Market (or as I like to call it: The Rooster) is one of my favorite places to go for an early or a late lunch. Right up front I want to mention that taking the kids during a traditional lunch hour (11:30a – 12:30p) during the week is brutal, so plan for either [...]
