Elk Grove Weekend with the Kids

Hand-humpty-dumpty

If you are planning a weekend with the kids, consider going to Elk Grove California for the Strauss Festival. The festival revolves around the music, dance, and story lines of composer Johann Strauss. Bring a comfy blanket, some lunch or snacks, and spend a day watching the incredible choreography. The kids will especially enjoy watching the children who perform the music and dance of Strauss. The kids will also like Fairytale Town and Funderland. So much family stuff to do!

Try the Great American Grill which can be found right in the Hilton Garden Inn (how easy is that?). They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.
This house, converted into a restaurant, makes for great, romantic dining and provides an intimate, homey atmosphere. The ambiance may be homey but the food is top quality French / California styled cuisine. With such top-notch entrees as Duck Confit, Grilled Lamb, and Tenderloin--all cooked to perfection--you are in for a real treat.
This 2.5 acre park has over 25 imaginative play sets that make kids feel like they really are in Fairyland. Fairytale Town also has a menagerie of animals: Mary's little lambs, three little pigs, Peter Rabbit, Eeyore the Donkey and more.

My eight years as a hands-on VP has provided me with plenty of experience writing web content, proposals, ad copy, brochures, fliers, promotional material, letters of inquiry (the list could go on and on.) Writing for Save the Turtle's website has provided me with great exposure to the concepts and practices of SEO. It seems that we have done rather well as our Google ranking is most often number one on the page. Although, I am still on the board of Save the Turtles and every bit as passionate about saving endangered species as ever, I am currently also enjoying another incarnation as a freelance writer. I love, love, love writing travel blogs! Lately, I have been writing for Uptake.com. and Mynatour, an eco-travel site based in London. I have also written an number of articles for other sites covering such wide-ranging topics as health, food, real estate, and science. My goal, with each writing assignment, is to match each clients individual needs by writing with an appropriate "voice" and level of readability for each unique, target audience.
