How can I keep my 3 amp; 5 yr old nieces entertained in Dallas?|154690

My nieces 5 yr and 3 yr old are visiting me in Dallas in May end for 10 days. I intend to take them on a small road trip to the Sea World, San Antonio for 2 days. Apart from that, can you give me ideas about how I can make them their trip educational and fun!

I am sure they would love Dinosaur Valley SP:

There are various indoor _play - gyms_ around, with all sorts of jumping,climbing things for kids that age. You can usually pay by the hour for them to play...... Call the local Chamber of Commerce (for Dallas, or whatever suburb you_re in) and ask if they have any activities now for kids to do ... Call your local library and see if they have story hours ..... There_s an indoor waterpark in Allen, and may be others around too.....Call the Heard Museum in McKinney and see what their activities are for May.....

Buy them coloring books with sea animal in the books then when you go Sea World, they can actully see in real life the animals they were coloring. and also take them to the Zoo, kids like seeing animals.

3 and 5? well, have coloring books and crayons on hand...little kids arent cultural and educational they tend to be spoiled now days and they want things now!

How is a good way to go about meeting people in San Diego if I am under 21?|154020

I am only down here for the summer, but would really love to find some cool people to hand out with. I have taken excersize classes and hung out at some coffer shops, but have been unsuccessful. I am not looking to do anything like going down to TJ. I am just fresh out of ideas.

if you_re relgious you might want to go to _The Rock_ church near the MCRD

Go down to the beach and hang out . . you will find PLENTY of people to hang out with. I am 19 and I hang out by the beach every day . . . ton_s of new people to chat with and enjoy the day with.

i live near there is awesum
if u r hawt than go to the beach and show whatcha mama gave u and wen u see sumone u like give em a little smile and wink than run to the water in slow motion haha jk slow motion is impossible but run to the water sexxxxsssseeee



dont forgot sunscreen ehheehheh =]]

My niece had a good plan. She_s nice looking and pretty smart. She bought a small cute dog, walked it by the beach and met a ton of people. None of them are in her life anymore, but she still has the dog. This really works.

Mission and Pacfic Beach are the places to go.
Bike, skate, or walk along the boardwalk. Go to Belmont Park. You_ll met tons of young people on vacation or out of school for the summer.

i live here!!

dont u love it here? the weather is amazing right now.

under 21, u might want to hang around by SDSU, or got to the malls. El Cajon mall has a lot of my people ma age (18) and around that age.

by the way, im a caool person. :)

Look on line for _meet up San Diego_. Plenty of things to do in common with other people.

The clubs and the beaches...

Which city in Alaska is a mustsee city for ppl (American ppl) who have never been to Alaska?|153330

I am looking for a city with enough touristy things to see and do, but that does not require too much walking (especially hard on elderly ppl). Thanks.

If anyone would go to Alaska, they ought to see the town of Homer, if at least just because it is what it is, and where it is.
If you flew into Anchorage, then saw somewhere else in Alaska without going to Homer, it would be like visiting Hong Kong without going to Macau.
Homer is only a short bus ride away, and for less than $40, easy on the pocket and Psyche, much easier than immediately, _staking it out to the Interior_, especially in a state as wild and unfamiliar as Alaska,
It takes a period of adjustment to spend seeing Alaska , realizing fully where you are, somewhere to take the edge off, to get your bearings. That_s what Homer is excellent for.
Also, Homer is a bohemian town with lots of Art and Culture, and fairly cheap: (by Alaska standards) , accommodation, food, B_B_s, nightlife etc.,(did someone mention cafes and bars?), where one can adjust, meet people, and find info about things to do, because the wilder places are rugged and involve adjustment to hardships necessary to endure, just to get there and really do, and what Alaska is.
Homer has maintained a longstanding tradition, since the days of Hemingway, to be easy and fun, slightly adventuresome, easier on the pocket than Anchorage, and great for for backpackers and adventurers just out of the bush going for a breather, or a salad break, without having continuous high excitement and hassle on one_s mind all the time, which you need to have to visit the Interior, or even the great outdoors which you are probably not yet used to.

Also, the Kenai Peninsula, where Homer is located, enjoys the most benign climate in Alaska..: Alaskans consider their pet sub-section known as the, _Banana Belt_, including Homer (very much the heart of) , and Kodiak Island, (where the largest bears in the world live), Valdez, (where the Spill was). Good and bad, yes, but this isn_t the bush yet, either.
Still, last time I was there, I got to go Halibut fishing, huge fish they clean and fish for daily out on Homer Spit, and then saw two Moose grazing on the edge of town, not afraid of me. Good, start I thought.

Fairbanks is the absolute _extreme Alaska_ , where there are brutally hot mosquitoey summers, then absolutely brutally cold winters, still something to see when you are ready, and a fun town worth going to. It is in the _Interior_.
Juneau is in the _Panhandle_. Very rainy in winter, but also fine.
Another, the Brooks Range and the _North Slope_, fantastic. Like having the Rocky Mountains, way north in the Arctic. Amazing for sighting Elk and Cariboo migrations, but in Summer, because I mean harsh and Arctic in winter.

All fine sections, good in their own way, but you have to be sure what it is you want.
Last time I was there.
Start with Homer.

Well Anchorage is by far the largest city, and there is quite a bit to see and do there, depending on your interests. It_s surrounded by mountains on 3 sides and the Cook Inlet on the other. I used to live there so if you have any specific questions I can try to help you. When are you going? The tourist season there is mostly over by now. Usually people visit in May, June or July. In August it begins to get cooler and rainy. Downtown Anchorage is flat and easily walkable. The only hilly part of town is Hillside, which you can drive to for awesome views.

Fairbanks is kinda old and dumpy but does have interesting gold mining history. There are no mountains or trees there, just hills and bushes.

Another city that_s really pretty is Ketchikan. Actually all the cities in _Southeast_ are gorgeous: Juneau is built against a mountain, Sitka has Russian architecture, Skagway has the largest Fjord in the world - even bigger than the ones in Norway.

Oh, one of my personal favorites is Seward. It_s 100 miles south of Anchorage on the ocean and totally gorgeous. It_s very quaint and cute with astounding scenery. Homer used to be a favorite and it_s still beautiful, but the town has grown a lot and gotten touristy. Email me if you have any other questions.

What Bay Area community colleges have a fashion program?|157066

I know that City College of SF has it, and so does the City College of Alameda. Just wondering what other ones were out there. I_m thinking about taking a fashion/sewing class over the summer at a community college. I live in San Ramon, so the closest cc_s are Las Positas and DVC but neither of them have fashion :( Oh well. Any information would be helpful :) Thanks.

10 points to best answer!

maybe HEALD?
and the rest of Peralta community colleges campuses.

18 years old. there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it_s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

Yes its 18 and over. Sorry if that puts a bummer on your plans. All are unless it like a negative one star hotel.
