Where's the best place to vacation in California with kids?

MirandaGardens — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:30:26 +0000

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!

Do cracks 1/16" or less in old caulking need to be recaulked?

MirandaGardens — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 05:41:27 +0000

We have our house up for sale. We have redwood siding. It was painted just 3 years ago and I have recaulked anywhere the cracks in the caulking are over 1/16", but do I need to crack those small ones? They just come back each year as the seasons change (We live by the water in a very humid climate), but I don’t want to get dinged by a house inspection. Would water really get in those small cracks and do any damage?

Iam looking for a pice off burl wood to make a coffee table?

MirandaGardens — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 10:59:58 +0000

The wood could be about 3 " thick & 3 or 4 foot around’ maybe with bark still on the 3 or 4 inch edge I will do the finish work , and any type of wood with a nice grain redwood would be nice but I think cost would be to much.

Building a fence: ideas on estimating cost?

MirandaGardens — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 06:19:42 +0000

Will need to replace the fence around my (small) property — approximately 140 linear feet. Want a 6′ tall redwood fence with 12" lattice top. Can anyone suggest a ballpark cost or a link or two for info?

Thanks!

about unused vacation pay in Ca?

MirandaGardens — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:36:36 +0000

Question
about vacation pay in California?
i currently work for a company based out of michigan, but the center im at is in northern california.
recently got a job offer elsewhere and accepted. unfortunately im not giving them a formal "2 week" notice.
i was reviewing their company handbook, and it states "if the employee does not give a proper 2 week notice, your vacation pay is automaticly forfeited"…i have 70 hours unused….
my question is, is there an exception to this policy since im in the state of California?
~thanks

Spiritually Speaking: What vacation would be the best decision and when?

MirandaGardens — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:20:42 +0000

You know how all of you R&S people are sooooo wise, well, Here are the scenarios, lol…In fact, most likely we would be taking two of them at different times between this summer and next spring "IF" we can decide.

1.) Driving to Northern Cali, see friends and some family, see the Redwoods by the coast again and see Yosemite. Probably better to do that in the fall or spring ?

2.) Flying to either Seattle, WA or Portland, OR, see family and several friends in WA. Also going to Victoria and Vancouver, if possible. (summer) Have been putting this off for years!

3.) Colorado, flying then renting a car, traveling a portion of the area seeing friends. (either fall or spring) Putting that off for years as well. XD

4) Flying to No Carolina, briefly see family that I haven’t seen in a while, again renting a car. Driving around and possibly visiting good friends in So Carolina. (feel like that is an important family decision)

5) Seeing a very close friend that I haven’t seen for years. She lives in Michigan but probably would vacation with her in Chicago. Spoke with her last night and I could tell she was hurt I haven’t made time for her.

(I know I am blessed with a lot of friends, LOL…family is another story) Anyway, time and money only goes so with ALL of your help I can figure this out, hopefully.

You thoughts on vacations, what to see, the best value, time of year, etc.,etc.
Thanks, star please!
Good answers so far. #5 is pretty much a given, just waiting for her to tell me when. I’m getting the feeling that No Carolina and Seattle are strong contenders, lol

Since plants lack a skeleton, what gives them structure and support?

MirandaGardens — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 11:57:44 +0000

This is for my science, exact question:
"Since plants lack a skeleton, what provides structure and support for a redwood tree (112m) or a black tree fern (24m)?" In other words, what holds it up?

Which of these hairstyles do you like for an updo for a renewal of vows? I need some suggestions please.?

MirandaGardens — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 03:24:23 +0000

I’m having a renewal of vows in the California Redwood National Park. My hair is VERY THICK, naturally wavy, and hangs almost to my waist. I am a hairstylist & barber by profession, but I don’t want to do my own hair. I’ve got an oval shaped face, so I can pretty much wear just about any hairstyle. I am conservative, Southern Baptist lady, who does NOT cut her hair. So I’m looking for elegant & stylish styles without being to young or to old. I’m 38 years old, but I will 39 when we have our renewal of vows. I use the "It’s a 10" styling products when I do fix my hair. Other wise, I just wash, condition my hair daily, and I also clarify & deep condition once a week. There are some of the ideas that I have for my hair.

I’m looking for help & suggestions please. If you know of any other sites that would be great. Please no snide, rude or nasty comments, thanks.

Difference between Burlington Campground and Jedediah Campground?

MirandaGardens — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 12:00:07 +0000

We often visit the Burlington Campground near Meyer’s Flat in Humboldt State Park. We are planning a trip to Jedediah State Redwood Campground.
How does it compare to Burlington?
Thanks!
I reserved camp number 27. For the weeks we are going, everything along the river is booked already Do you know anything about number 27? Is it big? We will have 8 people, 2 dogs, 1 car, 1 van, and a travel trailer. It’s a 36" drive through spot. I hope it’s nice. The kids like to set up about 4 huge tents (some to sleep in, some to play in). I know in Burlington there was enough room for all that. I just hope the actual sites are big, or even bigger then in Burlington. I can’t wait to go camping!!!
