My wonderful mom wants to treat our family 2 adults, 2 children to a family vacation. She of course will be coming along, but can’t walk that much (heart condition) and refuses a wheelchair. Any ideas where she can watch the kids having a blast but won’t tire her out? She can’t handle elevation, so Tahoe is out.
Me and my friends were planning on taking a trip to california in june. But were not sure what city to go to.
We were thinking either las vegas, los angeles, or san fransisco. But those are the only major places we know.
Where should we go?
This is probably quite odd, but I’m googling looking for pictures or advice as to what color sofas to put in a room!? I was hoping to find some pictures that would give me the answer, and am now resorting to finding if I can find someone on a blog that can give me some advice?! I would appreciate if you can direct me to the right place or help me yourself!
We are US expats moving to the Netherlands & having to furnish the house (our stuff is back home in storage!) Fortunately, there is an ikea down the road that makes it affordable & pretty easy. I love this one page in their new catalog, where the couches are gray & chairs are white: http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/categories/departments/living_room/tools/livingroom_rooms_ideas#/20121_lirs09a_01
But the floors in the room are a golden oak with two walls of red brick & a back wall of windows trimmed in redwood stain. It’s the golden oak floors that make me think I need to go brown…in which case there is dark brown, khaki, and of course a natural color (but wouldn’t that get really dirty?!)
Here is a link to the ikea sofa color choices (we can specify a 3 person sofa & then either a 2 person sofa or 2 chairs, so can mix up colors): http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/products/S29875859/
When I see pictures online, I see black & white on floors like this. Most of the house will be black/white/gray, so one brown room might seem odd? what do you think? Help please!
We have 10 year old twins and we live in Ontario, Canada. We would like to take a vacation to California, so we’re thinking of driving there either this summer or next. The reasons I chose California are because our family is interested in movies/TV and also because it’s a little different than the usual "Florida" trip that everyone around here seems to take. I am just wondering which city we should stay in and which attractions we should check out. Also, any recommendations on good hotels would be helpful too!
Japan Nuclear Disaster Update 30: It was, is, and will be worse than you thought [Greg Laden's Blog]
Perhaps the most interesting single thing on the table in today’s update is the revelation that at least one of Fukushima’s reactors suffered sufficient damage from the earthquake that hit the region … prior to the tsunami … to have likely gone out of control or melted down. This is hard to assess because the tsunami caused so much additional damage as to obscure earlier damage, and because …
