Why Did the Rooster Cross the Road?

To quote one of my favorite strolls into the spirit world, the classic western, Young Guns, “Did you guys see the size of that chicken?”

Well, thanks to this roadside attraction in Wisconsin (just drive around, you’ll find it), you can answer in the affirmative. You did see the size of that chicken, and it was wearing an awesome hat.

Roadside attractions are the best.

Winter Vacations Extended Six Weeks!

You probably woke up this morning thinking that spring was on your doorstep and it was time to start planning vacations accordingly (ah, spring break). Well, guess what, winter isn’t going anywhere.

Punxsutawney Phil, the world’s cutest weather forecaster, has seen his shadow and as such six weeks of winter has been added to the calendar. The famous groundhog lives in Punxsutawney, PA, and has been looking at shadows for years, so he knows what he’s talking about (squeaking?).

What are you going to do with more winter? Another ski trip? Ice fishing? Take the kids sledding? The possibilities are endless. Kind of like winter.

Enjoy.

Disney Cruise Line Introduces Fantasy – Video!

Have you ever seen a cruise ship revealed for the first time? It’s pretty amazing. Disney Cruise Line held its official “Float Out” for the Disney Fantasy in Germany, and the beautiful ship will be carrying passengers within three months!

I’ve never been on a cruise (I know, weird), let alone a Disney Cruise, but it’s on my travel wish list.

Have you ever taken your family on a Disney Cruise?

Santa Tracker Time!

The NORAD Santa Tracking Map by Google

It’s time! Santa time, that is. The big guy is getting ready for the big trip, and you can track them! Big time!

In a non-stalker way, of course.

If you and the family want to follow Santa’s journey around the world, complete with video feeds, bells and whistles, then check out the good people at NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command – it’s like an acronym), who have combined their military might and technological savvy to track Santa Claus as he does his gift-giving thing. Also, cookies.

You can have the action sent to your smart phone, follow along on Google Earth, Twitter and/or Facebook. It’s the magic of the season meets the magic of technology. That’s a lot of magic, people.
